空间视角下的能源—经济—环境关系研究进展与展望

在全球气候变化和国际地缘政治复杂的背景之下,地理学的空间视角为能源—经济—环境关系研究提供了新的研究思路。论文通过梳理、评述能源—经济、能源—环境以及能源—经济—环境关系研究文献发现：① 能源—经济关系研究出现“空间转向”趋势,区位特征被用于解释能源—经济关系的空间异质性;② 能源—环境关系研究多关注能源污染及政策的空间效应,出现了能源景观研究等新研究话题;③ 能源—经济—环境关系研究刚刚兴起,出现了因果关系实证、耦合协调度评价、多目标规划预测3种研究思路;④ 当前研究存在实证分析高度同质化、空间差异机制解释不足、可再生能源相关研究较少等不足之处。据此,论文尝试构建了空间视角下能源—经济—环境(3E)关系研究基础框架,并基于中国研究现状提出未来的研究展望,即完善理论框架建设、加强可再生能源研究以及开展碳减排目标下的能源—经济—环境系统模拟预测,从而为中国碳达峰、碳中和目标的实现提供理论与实证支撑。

Progress and prospect of energy-economy-environment nexus research from a spatial perspective

Under the background of global climate change and complex international geopolitics, the spatial perspective of geography provides a new entry point for studying the nexus between energy, economy, and the environment. By summarizing the literature on energy-economy nexus, energy-environment nexus, and energy-economy-environment nexus, we found that: 1) There is a "spatial turn" in the research of energy-economy nexus, and location characteristics are used to explain spatial heterogeneity. 2) The literature on the energy-environment nexus focuses on the spatial effects of energy-related pollution and policies, and new research topics such as energy landscape research have emerged recently. 3) The study on the energy-economy-environment nexus has just appeared, with three general research frameworks: empirical research on causality, coupling and coordination degree evaluation, and multi-objective planning prediction. 4) The current research has shortcomings such as high homogeneity of empirical analysis, insufficient explanation of spatial disparity mechanism, and less research related to renewable energy. Accordingly, this article attempted to construct a research framework for the energy-economy-environment (3E) nexus from the spatial perspective. We also proposed further research topics based on the existing studies in China—improving the construction of the theoretical framework, strengthening renewable energy research, and carrying out simulation and prediction of energy-economy-environment systems under carbon reduction targets, so as to provide theoretical and empirical support for the realization of China's carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals.
