The article investigates the resource provision of territorial communities and the resilience of critical infrastructure under crisis conditions, with a particular focus on the assessment of the ecological and economic efficiency of “green” technology implementation. Scientific approaches to community resilience formation are reviewed, including concepts of energy democracy, local energy independence, and decentralization of environmental governance. The role of local authorities in implementing low-carbon technologies, adapting infrastructure to crises, and enhancing energy security is highlighted. Special attention is given to the evaluation of the effectiveness of autonomous energy and water supply systems, coordination between local and state institutions, and the use of information systems for monitoring the state of critical infrastructure. The literature analysis reveals a lack of studies on the comprehensive assessment of community resource provision and infrastructure resilience in wartime and post-crisis periods. In the empirical part, the dynamics of budget expenditures on environmental protection, electricity production (including from renewable sources), and pollutant emissions in Kyiv region during 2018–2024 were analyzed. Positive trends in emission reduction and growth in solar generation were identified, while uneven financing and the absence of stable long-term support mechanisms for “green” initiatives were recorded. The study confirms the need for an integrated approach to the development of energy, environmental, and municipal infrastructure, the assessment of major risks and vulnerabilities of critical systems, and the implementation of practical tools to enhance resilience and resource efficiency under crisis conditions.
