A warming climate brings both higher average and peak temperatures – putting stress on humans, animals, crops, and infrastructure systems, including energy supply and demand. But how will people and institutions cope with warmer temperatures, what is our capacity to adapt to changing conditions and what are the subsequent implications of our adaptation choices?
The overall objective of the Energy, Climate, and Environment (ECE) Program is to provide evidence-based, scientific roadmaps for feasible systems transformations that simultaneously meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and ambitious climate change mitigation targets.
