Within the legal regime of climate protection, there is a gap between the amount of space and resources devoted to mitigation on the one hand and adaptation to climate changes on the other, clearly to the detriment of the latter. Nevertheless, at least some climate changes seem inevitable and therefore it is certainly necessary to take some adaptation measures. That is especially true in the case of the energy sector, which plays a crucial role in the entire economy. The article deals with legal instruments aimed at adapting the energy sector to climate change. It analyses the general legislative approach to adaptation, the expected negative consequences of climate changes for the energy sector, as well as the current legal regulations in this matter – in order to conclude as to the legal instruments that could be useful for the adaptation of the energy sector to climate changes. |
