BACKGROUND For centuries, thinkers have considered whether and how climatic
conditions influence the nature of societies and the performance of economies. A …

Abstract Background The European Commission (EC), based on the European Green Deal
(2019) and the Recovery plan for Europe (2021), envisages investing 30% of the budget in …

Climate change will affect hydrologic and thermal regimes of rivers, having a direct impact
on freshwater ecosystems and human water use. Here we assess the impact of climate …

Connecting research on the water demand of power plants with mitigation strategies for
energy-based water use is an important step to ensure global water and energy security …

Recent droughts and heatwaves showed the vulnerability of the electricity sector to surface
water constraints with reduced potentials for thermoelectric power and hydropower …

Electricity markets may become more sensitive to weather conditions because of a higher
penetration of renewable energy sources and climatic changes. We investigate whether …

Recent warm, dry summers showed the vulnerability of the European power sector to low
water availability and high river temperatures. Climate change is likely to impact electricity …

Although China has experienced a wide variety of regional conflicts between water scarcity
and electricity generation, there are few comprehensive quantifications that explicitly reveal …

We explore how to address the challenges of adaptation of water resources systems under
changing conditions by supporting flexible, resilient and low-regret solutions, coupled with …

Thermoelectric power plants depend on cooling water drawn from water bodies. Low river
run-off and/or high water temperatures limit a plant's production capacity. This problem may …
