Due to climate change, more frequent heatwaves will increase the global demand for electricity by 7% by 2050, and by 18% by 2100, calling for either considerable energy investments or strong mitigation strategies.
What could our cities and lives look like in 100 years, if we had tackled the climate crisis exactly as experts advised us to do?
In a new study we identify how climate change will influence electricity demand in Brazil over the next 30 years...
Our latest research paper looks at India, Brasil, Mexico and Indonesia and reveals that by 2040 between 64 and 100 million households will not be able to meet their cooling requirements, finding themselves in a situation of potential discomfort. This will be particularly pronounced in states with high urbanization levels, hot and humid climates, or... Continue reading
We investigate how climate and income will shape cooling services and energy demand in Brazil for 3 warming scenarios : +1.5°C, +2°C, +4°C.

Our new study published in Economic Modelling shows that owning and using an AC greatly increases the electricity bills of households, with important implications for the energy poverty of the less well-off.
At the basis of our research project, it is essential that we understand and define thoroughly what is Energy for Adaptation. It is as well essential that we comprehend what are the implications of these different possible measures for sustainable development. We therefore drafted a framework to define Energy for Adaptation – summarized in the... Continue reading
