withstand and recover quickly from any unanticipated shocks and reflects potential impacts of
climate change on energy resources in its planning and operations).

This project builds on the UNECE Carbon Neutrality Toolkit – a toolkit that enables Member
States to build carbon-neutral and resilient energy systems. With a mission to mainstream the
resiliency concept and systems-thinking approach in national policies UNECE is creating a
Platform for Resilient Energy Systems.

The Platform’s objective is to provide Member States and the energy expert community with
an advanced AI-based tool that allows it to navigate through a reputable knowledge base
built by UNECE and partnering organizations, producing user-friendly insights for informed
decision-making on how to reach more resilient energy systems. This real-time, interactive
compendium of resources will assemble in an aggregated and integrated manner relevant
and accurate information on resilience of energy systems and will provide access to official
documents and data. So far, a number of organizations have joined our initiative, including
the European Investment Bank (EIB), the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the
International Energy Agency (IEA), the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), the
International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the Organization for Security and Co-operation in
Europe (OSCE), the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean
(ECLAC), the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP),
the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA), the United
Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), the World Bank, and the World
Meteorological Organization (WMO).
