Energy systems worldwide are undergoing profound transformations to avoid greenhouse gas emissions and ultimately stop climate change. These transformations are often based on increased deployment of weather-dependent renewable generation technologies like wind turbines and solar photovoltaics, implying that weather and climate play key roles in designing and operating future energy systems. As a consequence, there is a need for interdisciplinary exchange between the historically distinct energy and climate modelling communities. In this workshop, we provide a forum for in-depth discussion at the energy-climate interface, bringing together leading early career researchers with backgrounds in energy and/or climate modelling. We aim at shaping a community of researchers who tackle energy-sector climate risk and has great potential in facilitating follow-up projects on new science and educational resources.
