Energy services and resources, as well as seasonal demand, will be increasingly affected by changing trends, increasing variability, greater extremes and large inter-annual variations in climate parameters in some regions. All evidence suggests that adaptation is not an optional add-on but an essential 606 $aEnergy policy 606 $aPower resources$xForecasting 606 $aElectric power consumption$xForecasting 606 $aClimatic changes$xGovernment policy 606 $aClimatic changes$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aNatural disasters$xRisk assessment 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnergy policy. 615 0$aPower resources$xForecasting. 615 0$aElectric power consumption$xForecasting. 615 0$aClimatic changes$xGovernment policy. 615 0$aClimatic changes$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aNatural disasters$xRisk assessment. 676 $a333.79 701 $aEbinger$b Jane$01041671 701 $aVergara$b Walter$01041672 712 02$aWorld Bank. 712 02$aEnergy Sector Management Assistance Programme. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460094603321 996 $aClimate impacts on energy systems$92465349 997 $aUNINA
