European Climate-resilient Energy System: Integrating Climate Adaptation into Planning and Implementation

Webinar

Topic

Climate Adaptation & Resilience

Dimension

Grids & Energy Systems
Calendar 12 February 2026
Clock 15:00 – 16:00 (CET)
Location Online

Co-organized by RGI, the World Bank’s Energy Global Department , the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E) & Terna. 

How can we ensure the European energy system is resilient to climate change impacts? Our upcoming webinar explores solutions!

European grids face unprecedented threats from extreme weather events, such as heatwaves, floods, high winds, alongside the challenge of rapid renewables integration.

To address these developments, European transmission system operators are implementing solutions throughout entire investment cycle from planning to operation. Join us for a critical deep dive into how climate adaptation and resilience strategies are being integrated into the planning, operation, & investment of European power systems.
