Water risks for hydroelectricity generation

This paper studies the impact of reduced water availability on hydroelectricity generation, a central piece in the low-carbon transition, in Europe and the United States.





Climate and disaster resilience measurement: Persistent gaps in multiple hazards, methods, and practicability

The authors of this paper offer a critical review and an assessment of approaches to climate and disaster resilience measurement with a particular focus on three issues: (1) the consideration of compounding socioeconomic and climatic risks in approaches to resilience measurement; (2) the methodological and technical aspects of resilience measurement; and (3) the application and practicability of resilience measurement across various contexts to reliably inform decision-making processes.





Acting on climate and poverty: if we fail on one, we fail on the other

In this policy insight, the authors explain how rising to the climate and poverty challenges in tandem can generate great gains for people and the environment across continents and create new paths for sustainable development and poverty reduction – while delayed action on climate change will entrench poverty around the world.
