20 2.1 ENERGY VULNERABILITIES VARY BY REGION, REQUIRING TARGETED INVESTMENT STRATEGIES VULNERABILITIES VARY BY REGION, A MORE RESILIENT ENERGY SYSTEM REQUIRES TARGETED STRATEGIES Specific vulnerabilities for each region are shown in Figure 11. Gaps in storage days across high importing countries in Asia for instance highlights a dual vulnerability. Similarly, chokepoint exposure in India and East Africa and supply concentration in Mexico and North Africa highlight the need for diversifying supply sources.
