Abstract

The transition toward renewable energy includes a need for equitable outcomes, yet a critical research gap exists in understanding the relationship between renewable energy deployment and energy justice within International Energy Agency (IEA) member nations. This study addresses this gap by thoroughly examining the influence of renewable energy deployment on energy justice across 23 IEA member nations from 1995 to 2020. We employ advanced econometric techniques such as the two-step system generalized method of the moment to investigate the linkage between renewable energy deployment and energy justice. By considering the various dimensions of energy justice, this study provides a holistic assessment of the positive linkage between renewable energy deployment and energy justice within IEA member nations. Significantly, we uncover that a greater share of renewable energy substantially enhances energy justice levels, highlighting the importance of renewable energy policies prioritizing social inclusion and justice. By shedding light on this relationship and addressing a critical research gap, our study contributes to advancing knowledge in renewable energy deployment and energy justice. These insights hold substantial implications for policymakers, providing valuable guidance for formulating policies and strategies that promote equitable and sustainable outcomes during the renewable energy transition.

明确可再生能源部署与能源公正之间的联系：实现公平的可持续性

向可再生能源过渡需要公平的结果，但在了解国际能源机构（IEA）成员国可再生能源部署与能源公正之间的关系方面，存在着重要的研究空白。本研究通过深入研究 1995 年至 2020 年期间 23 个国际能源署成员国的可再生能源部署对能源公正的影响，填补了这一空白。我们采用了先进的计量经济学技术，如两步系统广义矩法，来研究可再生能源部署与能源公正之间的联系。通过考虑能源公正的各个维度，本研究对国际能源署成员国可再生能源部署与能源公正之间的积极联系进行了全面评估。值得注意的是，我们发现可再生能源的比例越高，能源公正水平就越高，这凸显了可再生能源政策优先考虑社会包容和公正的重要性。我们的研究揭示了这一关系，并填补了一项重要的研究空白，从而有助于推进可再生能源部署和能源公正方面的知识。这些见解对政策制定者具有重大意义，为制定政策和战略提供了宝贵的指导，从而在可再生能源转型期间促进公平和可持续的成果。
