Introduction

Climate change, extreme weather events, energy insecurity, and the accelerating transition toward low-carbon development are transforming the global energy landscape. Climate-resilient energy systems are becoming essential for governments, utilities, businesses, communities, and development organisations seeking to maintain reliable energy services while reducing greenhouse gas emissions, climate vulnerability, energy poverty, and infrastructure risks. Climate-Resilient Energy Systems Training Course provides a practical and strategic understanding of how to design, assess, finance, implement, and manage resilient, low-carbon, decentralized, and future-ready energy systems. Participants will explore renewable energy integration, energy storage, smart grids, distributed energy resources, climate risk assessment, energy efficiency, disaster preparedness, and nature-based solutions for energy infrastructure.

The course combines climate adaptation, energy transition, resilience planning, clean energy innovation, digitalisation, and sustainable infrastructure development to equip participants with actionable skills for real-world applications. Through practical exercises, scenario analysis, group discussions, and case studies from climate-vulnerable regions, participants will learn how to strengthen energy reliability and affordability while supporting net-zero pathways, energy security, just transition, climate finance, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By the end of the programme, participants will be able to develop integrated strategies for energy systems capable of anticipating, absorbing, recovering from, and adapting to climate-related disruptions.
