Description

Climate change could affect our energy systems, and thereby our energy security, in several ways: by altering energy demand, disrupting energy supply and damaging energy infrastructure. The energy sector will need to develop resilience to climate change impacts through technological solutions, flexible management practices as well as preventive emergency preparedness and response measures. To facilitate these processes and enhance their effectiveness, policy and institutional responses will be needed.
