This report explores the significant challenges faced by Panama's energy infrastructure in addressing climate change and ensuring a sustainable and resilient energy supply. ISBN: 978-92-9260-610-7
In 2024, El Niño has negatively impacted energy security across Latin America, resulting in disruptions to power systems and highlighting the significant vulnerability of the region’s energy sector to the effects of climate change. This report identifies the risks to energy infrastructure in Panama and explores various ways to adapt existing and new infrastructure to meet the challenges of climate change. Considering national data and models of the occurrence of extreme climate hazards, the study identifies adaptation measures aimed at mitigating potential damage and enhancing the resilience of Panama's energy infrastructure. The report explores climate change adaptation measures that aim to reduce risks, mitigate impacts, decrease vulnerabilities and increase the resilience of Panama’s energy and related infrastructure. These measures include increasing water storage capacity at hydropower plants, building dams and coastal defenses, relocating infrastructure to lower-risk areas, and adopting more efficient and climate-resilient technologies. |
