Abstract
There is a need for simultaneous attention to sustainability and resilience objectives
while making energy decisions because of the need to address disruptions or shocks
that can result from system-wide changes due to transitioning and existing threats to system
performance. Owing to this emerging research area, this systematic review used the Scopus
database to address the central question: What are the trends and practices that can enhance
the integration of sustainability and resilience for energy decisions? The articles used are
peer-reviewed, empirical research in the energy field and written in English. Articles that
did not explicitly address energy systems (or any of the value chains) and gray literature
were excluded from the study. The final screening of records resulted in the selection of
75 articles that effectively addressed the decision objective, context, and implementation
(D-OCI), a classification scheme that supports 18 specific questions to identify practices for
integrating the sustainability and resilience objectives. The highlighted practices are advantageous
for decision evaluation and can provide valuable insights for formulating energy
policies. This is particularly relevant because energy-related decisions affect households,
organizations, and both national and international development. The study proposes ideas
for future research based on the highlighted practices.
