COP26: Climate resilience for the global clean energy transition

Energy is an integral part of all modern economies. But nearly every segment of the energy system is vulnerable to climate change from the fuel supply to energy production potential and efficiency to the physical resilience of energy networks to user demand for energy. This trend will continue to grow as climate change intensifies.

This event, hosted jointly by the ICF Climate Center and the International Energy Agency at the Resilience Hub at the COP26 Pavilion and live online, will explore the climate impacts on the energy sector and steps to build climate-resilient energy systems. The event will include short presentations and questions from the moderator and audience (in person and virtual), enabling interactive discussions.
