- 融合大模型与领域代理,用因果推断挖掘能源政策影响
- 识别出农村/城市清洁燃料获取和城镇化率三大核心排放驱动因素
- 适合关注气候政策、可持续发展和数据驱动决策的研究者
实现可持续发展目标7(可负担的清洁能源)不仅需要技术创新,还需深入理解影响能源可及性和碳排放的社会经济因素。尽管这些因素日益受到关注,但如何量化其对能源系统的影响、建模跨领域交互关系以及捕捉能源转型中的反馈动态仍存关键问题。本研究提出ClimateAgents框架,结合大语言模型与领域专用代理,支持假设生成与情景探索。基于265个经济体、20年社会经济与排放数据,涵盖世界银行数据库中98项指标,采用机器学习驱动的因果推断方法,以证据为基础识别碳排放的关键决定因素。分析揭示三大主因:农村地区清洁炊事燃料可及性、城市地区清洁炊事燃料可及性、城镇人口占比。研究强调清洁炊事技术与城市化模式在塑造排放结果中的关键作用。响应日益增长的证据驱动型人工智能政策需求,ClimateAgents提供模块化、自我反思的学习系统,支持生成可信且可行动的政策洞察。通过整合结构化指标、政策文件与语义推理等异构数据模态,该框架为能随复杂社会技术挑战演进的适应性政策制定基础设施做出贡献,旨在推动从孤立建模向动态、情境感知的反射式模块化系统转变。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Achieving Sustainable Development Goal 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) requires not only technological innovation but also a deeper understanding of the socioeconomic factors influencing energy access and carbon emissions. While these factors are gaining attention, critical questions remain, particularly regarding how to quantify their impacts on energy systems, model their cross-domain interactions, and capture feedback dynamics in the broader context of energy transitions. To address these gaps, this study introduces ClimateAgents, an AI-based framework that combines large language models with domain-specialized agents to support hypothesis generation and scenario exploration. Leveraging 20 years of socioeconomic and emissions data from 265 economies, countries and regions, and 98 indicators drawn from the World Bank database, the framework applies a machine learning based causal inference approach to identify key determinants of carbon emissions in an evidence-based, data driven manner. The analysis highlights three primary drivers: access to clean cooking fuels in rural areas, access to clean cooking fuels in urban areas, and the percentage of population living in urban areas. These findings underscore the critical role of clean cooking technologies and urbanization patterns in shaping emission outcomes. In line with growing calls for evidence-based AI policy, ClimateAgents offers a modular and reflexive learning system that supports the generation of credible and actionable insights for policy. By integrating heterogeneous data modalities, including structured indicators, policy documents, and semantic reasoning, the framework contributes to adaptive policymaking infrastructures that can evolve with complex socio-technical challenges. This approach aims to support a shift from siloed modeling to reflexive, modular systems designed for dynamic, context-aware climate action.
