    Energy systems are critical infrastructure, with electricity serving society from cooking and lighting to transportation and sustainable development overall. However, impacts from environmental factors, such as climate change, extreme weather or sea level rise, and social factors, such as population migration, threaten energy access, reliability and overall community resilience. Additionally, the provision of energy services, primarily with fossil fuels, accounts for anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that further contribute to global climate change. However, vulnerabilities and needs in the energy sector vary widely by component, region, and geography. Therefore, a successful strategy for addressing resilience planning and uptake
