Transboundary crises pose unique and complex challenges as they often transcend political borders and demand coordinated responses. This paper investigates the pivotal role of energy intelligence in bolstering disaster resilience during transboundary crises, with a focus on its application in critical infrastructure protection and response coordination. As the world faces escalating environmental challenges, the integration of energy systems, climate adaptation strategies, and disaster management is paramount. This paper presents a comprehensive framework that explores the significance of energy intelligence as a catalyst for proactive disaster preparedness and response. We examine how advanced technologies, including smart grids, sensor networks, and predictive analytics, empower decision-makers with real-time data and situational awareness, enabling rapid and well-informed responses to transboundary disasters. By optimizing energy infrastructure and resource allocation, energy intelligence serves as a linchpin in ensuring the continuity of essential services and minimizing the cascading effects of crises. Furthermore, this paper delves into case studies and best practices from regions prone to transboundary crises, elucidating how cross-border collaboration, data sharing, and interoperable energy systems can mitigate the impact of disasters. We explore innovative approaches to transboundary crisis management, emphasizing the critical role of international partnerships in enhancing energy resilience and fostering disaster recovery. The case studies discuss the capacity of energy intelligence to ensure uninterrupted powersupply, support emergency response efforts, and enhance community resilience. Additionally, this research explores policy frameworks and governance structures that facilitate the adoption of energy intelligence in transboundary crisis management. By aligning national and international policies, regulatory mechanisms, and standards, we can pave the way for seamless cross-border cooperation and the widespread implementation of energy-intelligent disaster resilience strategies. In conclusion, this paper underscores the transformative potential of energy intelligence in transboundary crisis scenarios, where effective disaster resilience is essential. By harnessing the power of data-driven decision-making and collaborative energy systems, we can fortify our societies against the impacts of transboundary disasters and chart a path towards a more resilient, sustainable, and secure future. This research contributes to the academic discourse on energy intelligence as a cornerstone of disaster resilience in an increasingly interconnected and uncertain world.
