Climate Resilience and Adaptation
The energy sectors of developing countries may be sensitive to the effects of climate change, such as reduced rainfall, sea level rise, and increased frequency and/or severity of natural disasters.
ESMAP’s work on adaptation seeks to develop and test processes to mainstream climate risk management into energy sector planning and operations and to support awareness raising and knowledge transfer.

Book: Climate Impacts on the Energy Sector - Key Messages for Energy Sector Adaptation
This report presents an overview of how the energy sector might be impacted by climate change and what options exist for their management. It focuses on energy sector adaptation, rather than mitigation that has been a key focus of the energy sector and is not discussed in this report. The report draws on available scientific and peer reviewed literature in the public domain and takes the perspective of the developing world to the extent possible.
Albania: Piloting Climate Vulnerability Assessment
ESMAP supported work to help the Government of Albania and energy sector stakeholders develop policies and projects that are robust in the face of climate uncertainties, and assist them in managing existing energy concerns as the climate changes.

Tools and Resources
HEAT (Hands-on Energy Adaptation Toolkit)
HEAT, a Hands-on Energy Adaptation Toolkit, is designed to help countries carry out a stakeholder based semi-quantified risk assessment of climate vulnerabilities and adaptation options for the entire energy supply-use chain. HEAT can help raise awareness among key stakeholders – in government, the private sector, academia and civil society – of climate change risks and initiate dialogue on energy sector adaptation.
