The assessment raised awareness and initiated dialogue on energy sector adaptation. It was aimed at building greater understanding of the climate risks faced by the energy sector and of priority actions that could be taken to reduce vulnerabilities. 2012-08-13T10:35:46Z 2012-08-13T10:35:46Z 2010-09 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2010/09/14282089/albanias-energy-sector-vulnerable-climate-change http://hdl.handle.net/10986/10161 English Europe and Central Asia Knowledge Brief; Volume No. 29 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Brief Publications & Research Europe and Central Asia
