Hands-on Energy Adaptation Toolkit
(HEAT) is an online resource that is designed to lead you
through an assessment of climate vulnerabilities and
adaptation options in your country's energy sector and
raise awareness among key stakeholders. HEAT provides an
interactive, step-by-step guide, as well as an analytical
framework and support tools, to help policymakers consult
with stakeholder groups to scope out climate risks and
vulnerabilities. It then provides guidance on developing and
selecting among options to manage, monitor, and evaluate
these risks. HEAT provides guidance on how to complete the
assessment process and explains the skills and expertise
required in the team leading the assessment-the assignment
management team. To ensure credibility when engaging
stakeholders at various stages, the assignment management
team should include experts with knowledge of the
country's energy sector, energy asset performance, the
effects of climatic and hydrological conditions on energy
services, expertise in cost-benefit analysis, and skills in
delivering participatory assessments. HEAT identifies key
direct risks to energy supply and demand, and options for
managing these risks. It also identifies additional research
needed to better understand the implications of extreme
climatic events for the energy sector as well as potential
indirect impacts-for example, possible adaptation actions in
the agriculture sector may affect energy supply.
