Description (excerpt):
This collaboration involving the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), operated by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), highlights how climate conditions impact energy supply and demand in the context of sources such as solar, wind and hydropower.
The report underscores the importance of integrating climate insights into energy planning to improve reliability, anticipate demand peaks, and strengthen infrastructure resilience. It advocates diversified energy portfolios, new market structures, and better data sharing to optimise resource allocation and enhance energy security. The report stresses the need for cross-sector collaboration to address climate change and support the global energy transition.
