Abstract

Background

Environmental pollution and energy poverty have always been serious challenges for the global energy system.

Results

Based on the panel data of 30 provinces in China from 2005 to 2020, this paper uses FE and sys-GMM models to explore the impact of environmental regulations and climate change on energy poverty. The results show that climate change increases energy poverty, with rising energy for cooling in hot summers, and unchanged income in the short term. Moreover, environmental regulation plays a moderating role between climate change and energy poverty. Specifically, economical environmental regulation has a negative moderating effect, while legal and supervised environmental regulations have positive moderating effects. Finally, the national basic energy poverty line used is lower than that in the eastern region, higher than that in the western region, and close to that in the central region, which reflects the heterogeneity of energy poverty in different regions of China.

Conclusions

The findings in this paper clarify the nexus between climate change, environmental regulation, and energy poverty, addressing in this way a gap in existing research, which has great significance for environmental and energy policy makers.

气候变化和环境监管对能源贫困的影响:来自中国的证据
背景环境污染和能源贫困一直是全球能源系统面临的严峻挑战。结果本文基于 2005 年至 2020 年中国 30 个省份的面板数据,采用 FE 和 sys-GMM 模型探讨了环境法规和气候变化对能源贫困的影响。结果表明,气候变化加剧了能源贫困,在炎热的夏季,用于降温的能源增加,而收入在短期内不变。此外,环境法规在气候变化和能源贫困之间起着调节作用。具体来说,经济性环境法规具有负向调节作用,而法律性和监督性环境法规则具有正向调节作用。最后,本文所采用的国家能源贫困基本线低于东部地区,高于西部地区,接近中部地区,这反映了中国不同地区能源贫困的异质性。
