Energy security is a key concern in
Albania, which relies on hydropower for about 90 percent of
its electricity production. While renewable energy resources
like hydropower play a fundamental role in moving the world
towards a low-carbon economy, they are also vulnerable to
climatic conditions. Climate variability already affects
Albania's energy production to a considerable extent,
and climate change is bringing further challenges. This
report summarizes work conducted in partnership with
stakeholders in Albania's energy sector and other
closely related sectors. It aimed to build greater
understanding of the climate risks faced by the energy
sector and of priority actions that could be taken to reduce
vulnerabilities. The remainder of this report is set out as
follows: section two describes the context for this
assessment, covering the Albanian energy sector, observed
and projected climatic conditions and Albania's
adaptive capacity. Section three outlines the climatic
vulnerabilities, risks, and opportunities facing
Albania's energy sector. Section four describes the key
adaptation options identified for managing climate risks to
the energy sector. Section five provides the cost-benefit
analysis of physical adaptation options. Section six sets
out next steps for improving the climate resilience of
Albania's energy sector. Finally, section seven
includes references and lists of annexes and appendices. |
