Abstracts

This study develops energy resilience (ER) indices for Japan and analyzes its changes in response to historical events. The proposed composite indices incorporate renewable energy, climate change, energy efficiency, and energy security. Changes in the indices are argued along with historical events and policy measures. The insights gained from this longitudinal analysis can inform future energy policy decisions in Japan and provide valuable guidance for other resource-poor countries facing similar ER challenges.
