Assessments Program; |
| description |
Many countries are increasingly
vulnerable to destructive weather events, floods, droughts,
windstorms, or other parameters. The vulnerability is driven
in part by recent extremes in climate variability but also
by countries' sensitivity to events exacerbated by past
practices, socioeconomic conditions, or legacy issues. The
degree to which vulnerability to weather affects the
countries' economies is driven by their coping or
adaptive capacities. This overview showcases a pilot
vulnerability, risk, and adaptation assessment undertaken
for Albania's energy sector to raise awareness and
initiate dialogue on energy sector adaptation. This pilot
assessment demonstrates an approach that can be used to help
countries and energy sector stakeholders develop policies
and projects that are robust in the face of climatic
uncertainties, and assist them in managing existing energy
concerns as the climate changes. It identifies key direct
risks to energy supply and demand and options for adaptation
to establish where to focus subsequent in-depth analyses. It
also identifies additional research needed to better
understand the implications of extreme climatic events for
the energy sector as well as potential indirect impacts,
such as possible adaptation actions in the agriculture
sector that may affect energy supply. |
