Europe and Central Asia Region : How Resilient is the Energy Sector to Climate Change?

Europe and Central Asia Region : How Resilient is the Energy Sector to Climate Change?

The energy sector is sensitive to changes in seasonal weather patterns and extremes – e.g. floods, droughts, fire, storm, and landslide, that can affect the supply of energy, impact transmission capacity, disrupt oil and gas production, and impact...
