Abstract
In disaster-prone areas, energy security is crucial for enhancing and ensuring community resilience. Increasing global temperatures heighten the risk of catastrophic natural disasters, highlighting the need for a strong energy framework to reduce vulnerabilities within our communities. The UN Global Humanitarian Report correctly projected that 2024 would be the hottest year on record.1 Vulnerable communities are already grappling with the consequences of hurricanes, floods, droughts, and heat waves. These events intensify the pressing challenge of executing effective “build back better” strategies and promoting the transition towards low-carbon, resilient energy systems.2,3
