WG-3: Hydropower and Climate Change (adaptation and mitigation)

Home Working Group WG-3: Hydropower and Climate Change (adaptation and mitigation)

General scope

  • Scope covers both climate adaptation (resilience) and climate mitigation (reduction of GHG emissions)
  • Establish and communicate with accessible language what are the key issues in relation to climate change, both in terms of risks and opportunities :
    • Risks: reduction of inflows in some regions à uncertainty on flow risk evolution
    • Opportunities: increase of inflows in some other regions à new equipment in periglacial areas; hydropower reservoirs as multi-purpose tools to increase the resilience of combined Hydro-Solar, Hydro-Wind power solutions to reduce GHG emissions in power generation; etc.
  • Illustrate issues with some representative case studies
    • Identify R&I needs for increasing knowledge and develop solutions to limit climate change risk, and foster climate-induced opportunities
