Stage 2.1 Prepare risks and vulnerabilities evaluation framework for energy sector

Who's Involved

• Assignment Management Team

Timing and time required

• Before ‘Climate risks & vulnerabilities’ workshop
• 2 days

Key questions

• What are the indicators of a successful energy sector?
• How do we evaluate climate-related risks and vulnerabilities to energy sector performance?

Tools

• Generic ‘Energy Risks Pathways Model’
• Briefing paper describing:
  • overview of information on observed and projected climatic changes for the country
  • potential impacts of climate change on the country’s energy sector

Guidance

1. Determine success criteria for the country’s energy sector through consultation with stakeholders
2. Review and amend the generic ‘Energy Risks Pathways Model’ to reflect energy sector success criteria
3. Prepare empty table categorizing likelihood of climate-related hazards to energy sector success criteria
4. Prepare empty table categorizing magnitude of climate change consequences
5. Based on the above, prepare empty table of risk prioritization (hazard x consequence) for discussion during Stage 3.3 and completion during Stage 3.4

Outputs

• List of energy sector success criteria
• ‘Energy Risks Pathways Model’ amended for the assignment
• Table categorizing likelihood of hazards
• Table categorizing magnitudes of consequences
• Table of risk prioritization for completion during Stage 3.4
