实现实现全球气候雄心所需的快速能源转型需要从市政当局到国家政府的各个治理层面采取协调一致的行动。能源系统建模往往密切影响决策，使能源模型成为促进以跨尺度相互理解和协调为基础的多层次治理体系的重要工具。在这里，我们回顾了186项能源建模研究，并确定了能源建模社区考虑和促进多层次治理系统的挑战和机遇。我们发现，目前的能源建模实践通常侧重于并旨在支持一个单一的规模，在很大程度上忽略了能源治理的多层次性。在整个能源建模过程中嵌入多级治理会带来重大障碍，但对于确保这些方法继续提供及时和突出的决策支持至关重要。
Achieving the swift energy transition necessary to meet global climate ambitions requires concerted action across governance scales, from municipal authorities to national governments. Decision-making is often closely informed by energy system modelling, making energy models a crucial tool to foster a multi-level governance system that is based on mutual understanding and coordination across scales. Here, we review 186 energy modelling studies and identify challenges and opportunities for the energy modelling community to take into account and facilitate multi-level governance systems. We show that current energy modelling practices typically focus on and aim to support a single scale, largely overlooking the multi-level nature of energy governance. Embedding multi-level governance throughout the energy modelling process entails significant obstacles but is crucial for ensuring such approaches continue to provide timely and salient decision-support.
