Practical Implementation Guide: Resilient Urban Energy Systems

The Practical Implementation Guide: Resilient Urban Energy Systems provides cities with recommendations, practical examples and an action strategy to enhance the resilience of urban energy systems. Given the interdependencies of urban infrastructures and cities’ exposure to various threats, including hazards (unintentional events such as extreme weather events) and systemic failures (such as cyberattacks or geopolitical instability), the ability of energy systems to withstand, adapt, and recover from disruptions is crucial. Drawing on city experiences and existing resources, it supports cities in planning, implementing, and replicating strategies to create energy systems that are reliable, sustainable, and climate-resilient.
