Data tool gives fine-grained view of climate vulnerabilities in the energy system and beyond

Climate-related natural hazards have shaped societies throughout history but their intensity and frequency are increasing significantly due to the global climate crisis.
 
Energy systems are highly affected by the impacts of climate change. Extreme temperatures, droughts, floods, wind threats and wildfires affect energy production and infrastructure; rising temperatures drive cooling needs which can cause spikes in energy consumption; wildfires and intense weather events can disrupt power grids operations. To mitigate these impacts and adapt energy systems to climate hazards, decision makers need reliable granular information about long-term climate and weather trends.
