Climate and Energy Security Intersections: Explorations with the Perry World House Climate Security Atlas
This project aims to enhance the integration of climate science into energy sector decision-making by expanding the Perry World House Global Climate Security Atlas, an open-source tool developed at Penn to assess global and transboundary climate risks. Building on existing work, the project will incorporate new energy-focused data layers and develop a “hotspot finder” to identify regions where coastal energy infrastructure is especially vulnerable to climate impacts. The work addresses a critical gap in translating complex climate data into actionable insights for policymakers, regulators, and communities, particularly in the context of the global South and regions facing intersecting environmental and energy challenges. By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration among Penn faculty and engaging students through research and public dialogue, the project will support both academic continuity and broader public understanding of the climate-energy-security nexus.
