“…The expected increase in post-tropicalcyclone heatwaves is likely to make power system restoration, primarily an outdoor activity, even more challenging. Additionally, wildfires resulting from heatwaves can induce post-event damage to environment-exposed infrastructure and further impede recovery 95 . The prolonged recovery periods associated with increasing renewable energy penetration could lead to substantial shortfalls in electricity Perspective generation capacity required to initially restart power grids from a blackout (black starts 96 ).…”

Climate change is expected to intensify the effects of extreme weather events on power systems and increase the frequency of severe power outages. The large-scale integration of environment-dependent renewables during energy decarbonization could induce increased uncertainty in the supply-demand balance and climate vulnerability of power grids. This Perspective discusses the superimposed risks of climate change, extreme weather events and renewable energy integration, which collectively affect power system resilience. Insights drawn from large-scale spatiotemporal data on historical US power outages induced by tropical cyclones illustrate the vital role of grid inertia and system flexibility in maintaining the balance between supply and demand, thereby preventing catastrophic cascading failures. Alarmingly, the future projections under diverse emission pathways signal that climate hazards -especially tropical cyclones and heatwaves -are intensifying and can cause even greater impacts on the power grids. High-penetration renewable power systems under climate change may face escalating challenges, including more severe infrastructure damage, lower grid inertia and flexibility, and longer post-event recovery. Towards a net-zero future, this Perspective then explores approaches for harnessing the inherent potential of distributed renewables for climate resilience through forming microgrids, aligned with holistic technical solutions such as grid-forming inverters, distributed energy storage, cross-sector interoperability, distributed optimization and climate-energy integrated modelling. Sections Key points• Large-scale integration of environment-dependent renewables coupled with intensifying climate extremes introduces superimposed risks on future net-zero power systems, expected to increase the frequency of severe power outages.• High-penetration renewable power systems under climate change may face escalating challenges, including more severe infrastructure damage, lower grid inertia and flexibility, and longer post-event recovery.• Achieving a climate-resilient power system in a net-zero future requires approaches for harnessing the inherent potential of distributed renewables through forming microgrids.Springer Nature or its licensor (e.g. a society or other partner) holds exclusive rights to this article under a publishing agreement with the author(s) or other rightsholder(s); author self-archiving of the accepted manuscript version of this article is solely governed by the terms of such publishing agreement and applicable law.

“…From a macro-perspective, factors such as government regulation [17], accessibility of transportation [18], and industrial development [19] are considered. Some scholars have studied the impact of natural disasters such as hurricanes on entrepreneurial activity [20], but few studies have investigated the impact of landscape fire on enterprise decision-making behavior [21]. At the same time, we further analyze the heterogeneous impact of different wind direction patterns and other types of landscape fires, providing new governance perspectives for individuals, enterprises, and local governments.…”

Climate change and land-use change are making landscape fires worse, causing them to grow in intensity and spread in range across Earth’s ecosystems. Extreme landscape fires can be devastating to people, ecosystems, and sociology. However, most research on landscape fires has not considered their potential impact on the economy, particularly with regard to entrepreneurial activity. Entrepreneurial activity includes the entry of new markets and the creation of new products or services, thereby facilitating the creation and expansion of economic activity. This manuscript empirically analyzes the impact of landscape fires on entrepreneurial activity, based on satellite monitoring data of landscape fires in China from 2014 to 2018. Different wind direction models and instrumental variable methods are used for empirical analysis. The results of the analysis show, first, that an increase in landscape fires in a county can significantly reduce local entrepreneurial activity. We further adopt the wind direction approach and instrumental variable approach to deal with potential endogeneity issues, and the regression results are consistent. Second, compared to eastern or high-economic-development areas, central and western or low-economic-development areas are more susceptible to exogenous landscape fires. Third, landscape fires have a negative impact on entrepreneurial activity through increasing air pollution, damaging human health, increasing risk aversion, and reducing the labor supply. It is important for both the government and the public to fully recognize the potential dangers that landscape fires pose to corporate behavior. This awareness can help reduce the impact of natural disasters such as landscape fires, protect the ecological environment, and provide solid support for corporate investment and regional development.
