DEA-Driven Diagnosis of Environment-Economy Efficiency Imbalance in Global South: Crowdsourced Data for SDG7-13 Synergy Policy Simulation

This transnational open science project aims to address the critical challenge of “energy poverty exacerbating ecological degradation” in developing countries (e.g., Southeast Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa) through methodological innovation in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Core Objectives: Develop a Circular Efficiency (CE) DEA framework integrating WHO health burden metrics and SDG policy targets to quantify the hidden trade-offs between energy access (SDG7), climate resilience (SDG13), and public health (SDG3). Leverage crowdsourced data from local scholars to calibrate region-specific parameters (e.g., informal biomass consumption, policy leakage rates) that are absent in global databases. Simulate Just Transition pathways using dynamic network DEA models, identifying cost-effective strategies for balancing economic viability and ecological preservation. Methodology: Spatiotemporal DEA: Analyze World Bank energy subsidy data × NASA FIRMS fire hotspots (2010-2023) Participatory validation: Collaborate with ResearchGate partners to annotate localized socio-ecological datasets via OpenStreetMap Policy impact mapping: Embed ASEAN health cost reports into efficiency frontiers calculation Expected Outcomes: Open-access toolkit for SDG Synergy Index calculation (hosted on WHO Climate-Health Platform) Policy briefs recommending South-South compensation mechanisms based on DEA efficiency gaps Training modules for UNEP regional offices on applying CE-DEA in national energy transition planning Call for Collaboration: We invite researchers from developing countries to: ✓ Contribute local energy poverty case studies ✓ Co-design data annotation protocols ✓ Validate model assumptions through policy Delphi surveys Keywords： Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) Energy Poverty Trilemma SDG7-13 Synergy Crowdsourced Environmental Accounting Spatial Efficiency Disparity WHO Climate-Smart Health Just Transition Mechanism South-South Policy Transfer Circular Economy Metrics Global South Regions.
