Today, we are in the middle of another transition, between two different eras regarding energy. In particular shifting towards to energy-related age of RES domination. Energy efficiency and climate change mitigation policies are leading such transition; worldwide.

During this transitional period, the restrainment of solid and liquid fuels popularity is being supported by a largely growing natural gas penetration and partially the use of unconventional gas (eg shale gas).

Furthermore the ongoing transition is being developed gradually in a step up way. Thus, policies – at some point close to their ratification – might be perceived as idle and not being related to each other, while their effectiveness is being argued; albeit over time is not expected to carry on the same pattern.

In reference to earlier mentioned time frame, the likelihood of China's climate change mitigation and energy efficiency policies to be reflected on N. Korea's accelerated advancements regarding its non-peaceful nuclear programme will be studied.

For exploring the suggested link, the following two points regarding N. Korea's tests would be considered as given facts and generally true:

  * Of military purpose nuclear apparatus.  
Since 2006 (Fedchenko, 2009; SIPRI, 2012).

  * Missiles and intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICMB); as the vehicle that will carry nuclear weapons towards target (Mansourov, 2014).

Thus, neither of above, did not appeared maidenly during Kim Jong Un's establishment of power. Nor can be unconnected to modern history and foreign policy of N. Korea.
