Energy Insecurity & Climate Vulnerability
High vulnerability to weather/climate shocks
Energy and climate vulnerability show up as blackouts, crop shocks, and disaster damage — a grid and economy still heavily exposed to weather.
What keeps this stuck
- Heavy coal reliance and costly oil imports
- Summer heatwaves spiking air-conditioning demand on the grid
- Geography exposed to floods, cyclones, and drought
- Water–energy nexus — droughts idling power plants
- Flooded mines and transport disruption affecting fuel supply
