Climate Impacts on the Energy Sector: Key Messages for Energy Sector Adaptation
The 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.

Economics of Adaptation
This study on the costs of adaptation to climate change was carried out in seven developing countries and looks at what resources will be needed in the next 40 years to increase resilience across multiple economic sectors. The study estimates the cost between 2010 and 2050 of adapting to an approximately two degrees centigrade warmer world in the range of $75 billion to $100 billion a year.

MODELING TOOLS & E-LEARNING

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. It can help address questions such as that posed in Albania “How can Albania best manage its future security of energy supply in the face of a changing climate?” 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. HEAT works. It documents the lessons, experience and process followed in implementing assessments in Albania and Uzbekistan.
