Adaptation Roadmap: Energy

This report is the second in a series that takes as its starting point the urgent need to embrace adaptation as a central part of the strategy to confront climate change, alongside greenhouse gas emissions mitigation. Just as one cannot get where they are going without a map, adaptation to climate change cannot succeed without knowing where it is needed most and what investments will deliver the greatest payoffs. This series provides that adaptation roadmap, identifying the impacts and locations where climate adaptation investments will be most beneficial. Each report in the series builds off landmark Climate Impact Lab research that leverages rich global data to uncover the relationship between increasing temperatures, adaptation, and human well-being, while accounting for the expected benefits of projected income growth over the coming decades.
