能源的生产、提取、提炼、加工和分配需要复杂、相互关联、昂贵、有时甚至是全球性的基础设施。然而，这些基础设施大多位于由于环境变化而可能变得越来越不稳定的地区。特别令人关切的是气候变化造成或加剧的破坏。全球能源供应受损可能导致一系列不良的附带影响。本文旨在确定全球能源基础设施中一些最容易受到影响的节点，并展示它们如何受到适度环境变化的影响。
Energy generation, extraction, refining, processing and distribution require a complex, interlinked, expensive and sometimes global infrastructure. However, much of that infrastructure lies in areas that may become increasingly physically unstable owing to changes in the environment. Of particular concern are disruptions caused or exacerbated by climate change. A compromised global energy supply could result in a range of undesirable ancillary affects. This paper aims to identify some of the most susceptible nodes in the global energy infrastructure and show how they might be affected by moderate environmental change.
