One of the greatest challenges of sustainable energy management is to meet the growing demand for energy while minimizing environmental impacts and promoting economic and social development. The central element in this progress is to balance the energy trilemma – energy security, energy equity, and environmental sustainability – and to support the ongoing energy transition. Achieving these objectives, however, presents numerous challenges for societies and policymakers, in which sustainable innovation plays a pivotal role. This study aims to examine the complex dynamics of sustainable energy management. The research explores the interconnections between the energy trilemma and the energy transition, the metrics of progress, and the role of innovations in sustainable energy management. The mapped relationships and dimensions provide a novel context for the topic, underscoring its importance for our future.
