Many studies have used geographical information system tools on a small scale for the analysis of energy potential, energy planning, and energy consumption, but there has been no example of the use of geographical information system tools to study large-scale pressures on energy strategies. This paper presents an analysis and assessment of energy strategy pressure for most countries worldwide using geographical information system mapping techniques. The research first presents an index system and a model for the evaluation of energy strategy pressure. Then, with the aid of geographical information system tools, an analysis and an evaluation of global energy strategy pressure are carried out. The factors that influence the development of energy strategies together constitute the energy strategy pressure index system: these include economic, environmental, resource, science and technology, security, and spatial pressure factors. For each pressure factor, a number of indicators are considered. The spatial distribution of the global energy strategy pressure index is dominated by band-like features, which are consistent with the global distribution of population and cities, the map of the continents and the Chinese Belt and Road proposals.
