The concept of energy security. Beyond the four As
TL;DR: A different concept of energy security as ‘low vulnerability of vital energy systems’ is proposed, which opens the road for detailed exploration of vulnerabilities as a combination of exposure to risks and resilience and of the links between vitalEnergy systems and critical social functions.
