This paper combines an econometric analysis of the response of energy demand to temperature and humidity exposure with … future scenarios of climate change and socioeconomic development to characterize climate impacts on energy demand at … different spatial scales. Globally, future climate change is expected to have a moderate impact on energy demand, in the order …

Future energy demand will be affected by changes in prices and income, but also by other factors, like temperature … annual regional demand for energy goods. Combining estimates of temperature elasticities with scenarios of future climate … change, it is possible to assess variations in energy demand induced (directly) by the global warming. We use this …
