As part of its work on energy and climate adaptation, ESMAP helped support and participated in the First International Conference on Energy and Meteorology (ICEM), “Weather and Climate for the Energy Industry," organized by Australia’s CSIRO and held in Queensland’s Gold Coast on November 8-11.  Among the findings of the conference are that climate-proofing investments for the energy sector are modest compared to regular capital expenditures on energy systems, but the gains are high in terms of improved reliability and security of supply.  At the conference, ESMAP presented “Lessons from Early Adapters” – findings from countries that are managing climate risk in their electricity sectors.
