Second Forum on Climate Change-Energy Security Nexus


Stakeholders meet in London to discuss bolstering energy sector’s resilience to climate change

The IEA and the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office met in London with a group of leaders from business and government, on Wednesday, 26 June, for the second Nexus Forum on strategies for enhancing energy systems’ resilience to the impacts of a changing climate.

The Nexus meetings promote dialogue and support the development of co-ordinated responses to enhance energy resilience. This is an emerging area of interest for the IEA, as it goes to the Agency’s core mission of enhancing energy security. The inaugural Nexus meeting was held at the IEA headquarters in Paris last November, where IEA Executive Director Maria van der Hoeven opened the discussion on the scope for, and limits of, adaptability in existing energy systems and processes.
