The NAP-E's main purpose is to improve the adaptability of the Uruguayan energy system, strengthen its resilience, and reduce its vulnerability to climate threats. This plan acknowledges the high levels of uncertainty associated with climate change, as well as the uncertainty inherent in technological evolution, and adopts an iterative, adaptive, and continuous learning approach. This approach will establish the necessary working processes to integrate climate change adaptation across all sectors, involving all key stakeholders, including the public sector, private sector, and academia.
The overall objective of the NAP-E is to reduce the climate vulnerability of the Uruguayan energy system to ensure it continues to fulfill its essential role of providing quality energy access to the population and contributing to the country’s sustainable development.
To achieve this objective, the NAP-E is structured around five lines of action to be implemented progressively, ensuring continuous and effective adaptation: Governance, Capacity strengthening and awareness, Information management and knowledge generation, Vulnerability reduction, and Monitoring, evaluation, and learning.
