Energy
Energy supply and delivery are threatened by extreme weather, sea level rise, droughts, wildfires, and other climate-related hazards. These changes damage infrastructure and have profound effects on human lives and livelihoods, with already-overburdened communities bearing a disproportionate share of the risk.
- Climate change threatens energy systems.
- Compounding factors affect energy-system and community vulnerabilities.
- Efforts to enhance energy system resilience are underway.
