  • The effects of climate change mitigation strategies on the energy system of Africa and its associated water footprint

    Open AccessIoannis Pappis, Vignesh Sridharan et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    Africa’s economic and population growth prospects are likely to increase energy and water demands. This quantitative study shows that energy decarbonisation pathways reduce water withdrawals (WWs) and water consumption (WC) relative to the baseline scenario. However, the more aggressive decarbonisation pathway (1.5 °C) leads to higher overall WWs than the 2.0 °C scenario but lower WC levels by 2065. By 2065, investments in low-carbon energy infra…

  • Climate, Land, Energy and Water systems interactions – From key concepts to model implementation with OSeMosys

    Open AccessEunice Ramos, Eunice Pereira Ramos et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Policy2022Cited by: 1References: 5

    The Climate, Land, Energy and Water systems (CLEWs) approach guides the development of integrated assessments. The approach includes an analytical component that can be performed using simple accounting methods, soft-linking tools, incorporating cross-systems considerations in sectoral models, or using one modelling tool to represent CLEW systems. This paper describes how a CLEWs quantitative analysis can be performed using one single modelling t…

  • The Climate, Land, Energy, and Water systems (CLEWs) framework

    Open AccessEunice Ramos, Mark Howells et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    Population growth, urbanization and economic development drive the use of resources. Securing access to essential services such as energy, water, and food, while achieving sustainable development, require that policy and planning processes follow an integrated approach. The 'Climate-, Land-, Energy-and Water-systems' (CLEWs) framework assists the exploration of interactions between (and within) CLEW systems via quantitative means. The approach wa…

  • Connecting the resource nexus to basic urban service provision – with a focus on water-energy interactions in New York City

    Open AccessRebecka Engström, Rebecka Ericsdotter Engström et al.ARTICLESustainable Cities and Society2017

    Urban water and energy systems are crucial for sustainably meeting basic service demands in cities. This paper proposes and applies a technology-independent “reference resource-to-service system” framework for concurrent evaluation of urban water and energy system interventions and their ‘nexus’ or ‘interlinkages’. In a concrete application, data that approximate New York City conditions are used to evaluate a limited set of interventions in the …

  • Lighting the World

    Open AccessDimitrios Mentis, Mark Howells et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017

    In September 2015, the United Nations General Assembly adopted Agenda 2030, which comprises a set of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) defined by 169 targets. 'Ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all by 2030' is the seventh goal (SDG7). While access to energy refers to more than electricity, the latter is the central focus of this work. According to the World Bank's 2015 Global Tracking Framework, roug…

  • Electrification pathways for Kenya–linking spatial electrification analysis and medium to long term energy planning

    Open AccessNandi Moksnes, Alexandros Korkovelos et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017

    In September 2015 UN announced 17 Sustainable Development goals (SDG) from which goal number 7 envisions universal access to modern energy services for all by 2030. In Kenya only about 46% of the population currently has access to electricity. This paper analyses hypothetical scenarios, and selected implications, investigating pathways that would allow the country to reach its electrification targets by 2030. Two modelling tools were used for the…
