国际京都进程和政府间气候变化专门委员会（IPCC）的工作逐步提出全球变暖是人类未来最紧迫的挑战的证据。国家和超国家的可再生能源政策是为应对这一挑战而制定的战略的核心，能源结构的不断变化，包括可再生能源份额的增加，引发了对能源-能源关系的新兴趣。可再生能源在全国各地分布广泛且不均匀。它们的空间影响和分散的能源基础设施可以是显著的、高度可感知的，并被视为景观与能源之间社会技术联系的重新组合。景观已成为能源政策辩论的一个关键竞技场。反之亦然。能源问题可能会给景观政策和进程带来新的层面。毫无疑问，能源仍将是世纪景观改造的头号驱动力。这篇社论讨论了在景观和能源的十字路口发展研究工作的经验和理论潜力，并为所谓的“能源景观”提出了一个初步议程。这期特刊中收集的论文都探讨了景观与能源之间不断发展的关系，尽管角度不同。它们共同捕捉到了这一新兴研究领域的一些丰富内容。
Abstract The international Kyoto process and the work of the Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) have progressively presented the evidence of global warming as the future and most urgent challenge for humanity. National and supra-national renewable energy policies are at the core of the strategies developed in order to face it. The ongoing changes in the energy mix, which include an increase in the share of renewable energy, triggers a new interest in the landscape-energy relationship. Renewable energy is widely and unevenly dispersed across the land. Their spatial impacts and decentralized energy infrastructures can be significant, highly perceptible and regarded as the re-composition of socio-technical links between landscape and energy. Landscape has become a key arena for the debate on energy policy. The reverse is also true. Energy issues might bring new dimensions into landscape policies and processes. There can be very little doubt that energy will remain the number one driver for landscape transformation in the 21st century. This editorial discusses the empirical and theoretical potential of developing research works at the crossroads of landscapes and energies, and ventures a tentative agenda for what can be termed the ‘‘landscapes of energies''. The papers gathered in this special issue all explore the evolving relationship between landscape and energy, albeit from different angles. They capture, together, some of the richness of this emerging research field.
