Energy is the driving force behind development. As such, the future challenge will be not only to meet the rising demand but also to implement less reliance on depleting fossil fuels, which cause damage to the environment. Moreover, the sustainability of supplied energy requires a reduction of emissions to control the absorption capacity vis-à-vis the environment. Globally, policymakers have largely recognized the significance of the relationship between energy and economic progress. Policymakers usually consider the social and economic aspects of energy security in terms of affordability and accessibility of service. The conditions of socioeconomic development depend on safe, secure, and sustainable energy at affordable prices. One of the prime concerns of policymakers should be to ensure energy security at the national level. These factors result in an increasing interest in undertaking activities in developing renewable resources. Energy efficiency is treated as the most cost-effective way to reduce energy demand while maintaining stable economic activity. Increasing energy efficiency is an important contributive aspect to solving issues in relation to climate change, energy security, and energy competitiveness. As a result, no country can afford to waste energy—giving rise to this Special Issue of “Energy Security as a Key Driving Factor for Socioeconomic Development: From Mitigation to Solution” in the journal Energies.Energy Security as a Key Driving Factor for Socioeconomic DevelopmentResearch & information: generalbicsscTechnology: general issuesbicsscinnovation capabilityspatial associationindustry upgradeTobit modelintermediary effectsustainable developmentChinacontainer shippingemissionsmaritime transportsustainable shippinggreen shippingIMOcoalenergy povertyjust transitionwomensustainable development goalgenderemploymentenergy burdenpeer-to-peerenergy behaviorenergy justicelow-incomeunderserved communitiesenergy savingsrural-to-urban transitionenergy mitigationurbanization agendasmart cityenergy landscapeurban energy transitionalternative energy technologiessustainable energygeopolitical energy changeCentral and Eastern Europerenewable energyprosumer decisionfactor analysisinvestment decisionResearch & information: generalTechnology: general issuesPawlowska Barbaraedt1288743Cirella Giuseppe TedtPawlowska BarbaraothCirella Giuseppe TothBOOK9910557370003321Energy Security as a Key Driving Factor for Socioeconomic Development: From Mitigation to Solution3020970UNINA
