The impact of energy transition on economy and health and its fairness

In order to cope with climate change, environmental pollution, resource depletion and so on, energy transformation (ET) has become an urgent task for China's development. Due to the great difference in the progress of ET in different regions, it is urgent to analyze the fairness of ET. At the same time, promoting the transformation of energy equity is conducive to promoting economic diversification and achieving a healthy society. Thus, the dynamic panel data model was used to analyze the impact of ET on economy and health from 2000 to 2020 and its fairness among 31 provinces in China. The correlation coefficient between R and GDP and between R and health index was 21.331 and 35.166. The correlation coefficient between energy intensity (EI) and GDP was −3.844. It could be seen that ET had significantly promoted the improvement of economy and health. The fairness study showed that the economic equity values of ET were between 0.8-1.5 and 0.7–2 in the central and eastern regions, respectively. ET promoted economic fairness. The health equity of energy transformation in the eastern region was bigger.
