实现可持续能源系统需要精心设计的能源政策，特别是规划能源发展方向的目标明确的战略，通过可靠的当局监测和执行条例，并由司法系统执行法律，以加强行动和国家目标。亚太地区占全球能源消费的一半以上，在过去二十年中制定了大量能源政策，但能源转型的进展仍然缓慢。本研究重点关注2000年至2017年能源政策对42个新兴经济体实现可持续目标进展的总体影响。我们发现，能源政策分别有助于改善电力供应（3.0%），清洁烹饪（3.8%），能源效率（1.4%）和可再生电力容量（6.9%）。在不同类型的能源政策（战略、法律和条例）中，战略对促进电气化、清洁烹饪和可再生电力能力的影响大于法律和条例，而法律对实现能源效率的影响更大，衡量能源政策对减少排放和其他可持续性目标的影响对于设计有效的未来政策至关重要。Meng等人评估了42个亚太国家能源政策的影响，发现战略比法律或法规更有效。
The achievement of sustainable energy systems requires well-designed energy policies, particularly targeted strategies to plan the direction of energy development, regulations monitored and executed through credible authorities and laws enforced by the judicial system for the enhancement of actions and national targets. The Asia-Pacific region (APAC), responsible for more than half of global energy consumption, has enacted a large number of energy policies over the past two decades, but progress on the energy transition remains slow. This study focuses on the aggregate effect of energy policies on the progress towards sustainable targets in 42 emerging economies from 2000 to 2017. We find that energy policies have contributed to improving access to electricity (3.0%), access to clean cooking (3.8%), energy efficiency (1.4%) and renewable electricity capacity (6.9%), respectively. Among different types of energy policy (strategies, laws and regulations), strategies have greater impacts on advancing electrification, clean cooking and renewable electricity capacity than laws and regulations, whereas the laws are more effective for achieving energy efficiency.Measuring the impact of energy policies towards emissions reduction and other sustainability goals is critical for designing effective future policy. Meng et al. assess the impact of energy policies in 42 Asia-Pacific countries and find that strategies are more effective than laws or regulations.
