Dubai time: 5 December 2023, 17:45-18:45

Climate change is reshaping our global energy systems significantly, bringing up vulnerabilities across the entire supply chain of the energy sector, urging to take decisive measures to enhance the resilience and security of energy systems.

The session provides discussion grounded in climate science to understand how climate change impacts the energy sector in different regions. Timely and reliable weather, water and climate data and services are crucial for making decisions to mitigate the climate risks for the energy sector. This side-event offers a strategic platform for engaging with key stakeholders in the realm of energy transition. The primary objective is to foster discussion from diverse solutions, with a particular focus on adaption strategies, including early warning systems for energy. These dialogues are expected to provide insights that will shape the agendas of key stakeholders in promoting an energy transition that prioritizes both climate and disaster resilience, and the event could mark the beginning of a series of discussions and knowledge-sharing sessions on this critical topic.
