WatNEX: A water-energy-food nexus assessment of climate change impacts on biomass and hydropower resources


A water-energy-food nexus assement of climate change impacts on biomass and hydropower resources (WatNEX). The main objective of the project is to develop methods to assess climate change impacts on water resources considering “in parallel” changes and feedbacks in energy and biomass sectors. We will work on Water-Energy-Food Nexus system understanding in Norway, and assess impacts of climate change and future scenarios considering SSPs and stakeholder information.
