Résumé
Adaptation is a central component of climate policy, helping manage and reduce risks. Sometimes,however, adaptation to climate change may consume energy, threatening efforts to reducegreenhouse gas emissions. Examples are numerous, and include the use of air conditioning orwater desalination. Nevertheless, no clear view exists on how energy demand globally can beimpacted by climate change. In this paper we systematically map existing evidence on how and towhat extent adaptation responses to climate change may impact energy demand. The literature islarge, fast-growing and spans several disciplines, but we identify several research gaps. First, theliterature focuses almost exclusively on heating and cooling demand, while overlooking otherpotential sectors. It also focuses heavily on a few world regions, while local specific climate andsocio-economic conditions may highly influence the impacts, and focuses largely on averagedemand, while often disregarding peak energy demand. Finally, and most importantly, only ahandful of papers—most of them with a specific geographical scope—consider that differentadaptation possibilities may lead to different impacts on energy demand, which is an importantprerequisite if the impact of adaptation on energy demand is to be lowered and maladaptation tobe avoided. The reviewed papers study for the most part similar options, and most adaptationpossibilities are conversely studied by just one or two papers.
