Analysis of Impacts of Climate Change Policies on Energy Security

The current EU energy system has its own inherent energy security risks. However, the introduction of climate change-related policies will change the structure of the energy system significantly in the future, thus altering the energy security risks.

This study is focused on the interaction between achieving a sustainable energy system and improving energy security.  It developed a methodology that identifies and quantitatively assesses the impacts of climate change policies on energy security. This will help guide policy making by identifying areas, and the extent to which, climate change policies can reinforce energy security objectives. These areas are analyzed in period up to 2030 with respect to political, technical, economic and extreme weather-related issues.
