Abstract

The UN vision of climate resilience contains three independent outcomes: resilient people and livelihoods, resilient business and economies, and resilient environmental systems. This article analyzes the positive contributions of low-carbon energy technologies to climate resilience by reviewing and critically assessing the existing pool of studies published by researchers and international organizations that offer comparable data (quantitative indicators). Compilation, critical analysis, and literature review methods are used to develop a methodological framework that is in line with the UN vision of climate resilience and makes it possible to compare the input of low-carbon energy technologies climate resilience by unit of output or during their lifecycle. The framework is supported by the three relevant concepts—energy trilemma, sharing economy/material footprint, and Planetary Pressures-Adjusted Human Development Index. The study identifies indicators that fit the suggested framework and for which the data are available: total material requirement (TMR), present and future levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) without subsidies, CO2 emissions by fuel or industry, lifecycle CO2-equivalent emissions, and mortality rates from accidents and air pollution. They are discussed in the paper with a focus on multi-country and global studies that allow comparisons across different geographies. The findings may be used by decision-makers when prioritizing the support of low-carbon technologies and planning the designs of energy systems.

低碳能源技术对气候复原力的贡献
联合国的气候复原力愿景包含三个独立的成果:具有复原力的人民和生计、具有复原力的企业和经济以及具有复原力的环境系统。本文通过回顾和批判性评估由研究人员和国际组织发表的、可提供可比数据(定量指标)的现有研究,分析了低碳能源技术对气候复原力的积极贡献。通过汇编、批判性分析和文献综述等方法,制定了一个符合联合国气候复原力愿景的方法框架,从而可以比较低碳能源技术在单位产出或生命周期内对气候复原力的投入。该框架得到了三个相关概念的支持--能源三难、共享经济/物质足迹和经行星压力调整的人类发展指数。该研究确定了符合建议框架且数据可用的指标:材料总需求(TMR)、目前和未来无补贴的平准化电力成本(LCOE)、燃料或行业二氧化碳排放量、生命周期二氧化碳当量排放量以及事故和空气污染死亡率。本文重点讨论了多国和全球研究,以便对不同地区进行比较。决策者在优先支持低碳技术和规划能源系统设计时,可以利用这些研究结果。
