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

General scope to:

• 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
