Abstract
Transformational processes occurring in the energy sector, along with the geopolitical conditions of the energy transition, growing energy demand, fossil fuel depletion, and changes in the availability of energy resources, are reshaping the context of research on sustainable energy development. This study systematizes the evolution of the concept of sustainable energy development and examines scientific and practical approaches to assessing Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG 7), which focuses on ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy sources.
A scientific and practical approach to assessing SDG 7 is proposed, incorporating an integrated assessment of its dynamics from 2015 to 2023 and forecasting changes in ensuring sustainable energy development in Ukraine. The results account for the impact of extreme conditions on the energy system, which significantly increase the vulnerability of the socio-economic situation due to risks and threats to Ukraine’s energy security.
The findings can be used to provide informational support for the development of national and regional energy strategies and the creation of a systemically integrated adaptation mechanism for authorities, businesses, territorial communities, local communities, and households in the context of large-scale transformations in Ukraine’s energy sector.
