报告摘要：

Energy plays a critical role in addressing climate change and satisfying human needs. Changes in energy systems can have unequal and distributional effects on different sectors and consumer groups. Such changes can result from climate change, new energy technologies, and government interventions. I assess and highlight such equity issues so that policymakers can formulate social-welfare-improving energy programs while avoiding unintended and undesirable inequities. In this talk, I will discuss several recent research papers related to the equity and distributional considerations of energy transitions. The first paper examines the negative impact on housing prices from hydrogen infrastructure facilities and the implications for environmental justice. The second paper examines the unequal impact on the power system resilience due to extreme weather and natural disasters. The third paper illustrates how government programs may address both equity challenges and energy transitions.
