Description
Yifan Shen and seven colleagues published a 2026 paper presenting a global data set, the Energy Transition Vulnerability Index, covering the years 2000 to 2023. Countries differ in their energy systems, economies, and social conditions, so the shift away from fossil fuels will hurt some far more than others. A fair transition requires knowing who is most exposed.
The index scores each country on three dimensions drawn from climate science: exposure to the change, sensitivity to it, and adaptive capacity, the ability to adjust. The framework follows the definition used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. With more than two decades of data for the world, researchers and policymakers can track which countries are falling behind.
