Solar irrigation in Nepal: Subsidy design, farmer adoption, and utilization patterns
Solar irrigation pumps (SIPs) are central to Nepal’s strategy for sustainable irrigation and reducing reliance on diesel pumps. The Alternative Energy Promotion Centre (AEPC) officially provides a 60% subsidy for SIPs under a demand-driven program. This study assesses (i) SIP subsidy delivery and adoption processes, and (ii) utilization patterns and their drivers, using a household survey of 630 farmers and a phone survey of 404 SIP owners. In pr…

Effectiveness of water-related adaptation decreases with increasing warming
Puzzlingly low utilization of solar irrigation pumps by smallholders in Nepal undermines cost-effectiveness
Solar powered irrigation pumps (SIP) hold substantial potential for low carbon irrigation expansion, particularly where affordable electricity is limited. In contrast to diesel-based irrigation, which carries steep fuel costs, irrigation by SIP requires zero marginal costs, but high initial investments. This makes their competitiveness with diesel pumps highly dependent on the temporal frequency of their usage. Using unique and detailed data on S…

Adaptation to water-induced disaster: Exploring local knowledge and Indigenous knowledge-led strategies
The magnitude of water-induced disasters is projected to increase in the coming decades. Yet, there is a substantial gap in the understanding of how local knowledge and Indigenous knowledge are employed to respond to climate change water-induced disasters. We examine this gap through a meta-review of literature published between 2014 and 2019 yielding 39 scholarly papers. The meta-review indicates that the literature highlights that marginalized …

The Summary for Policymakers (SPM) of the Synthesis Report (SYR) of the Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), is a component of the SYR which provides a policy-relevant but policy-neutral summary of the SYR. It is consistent with the Sections of the SYR and is approved line by line by the Governments at a plenary session of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

The Synthesis Report (SYR) is a stand-alone synthesis of the most policy-relevant evidence from the scientific, technical, and socio-economic literature assessed in the Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The SYR distils and integrates the main findings of the three reports of the Working Groups of the IPCC during the AR6, and the three AR6 Special Reports into a concise document. It consists of …

Unleashing the potential of solar irrigation in Bangladesh: Key lessons from different implementation models
The transition to solar-powered irrigation in South Asia offers an opportunity to cut greenhouse gas emissions and reduce dependency on expensive diesel. However, appropriate institutional and financial models are required to scale up this technology. Three different solar irrigation pump (SIP) implementation modalities coexist in Bangladesh, providing a good opportunity to evaluate and gain insightful knowledge on the solarization process. These…
Are climate finance subsidies equitably distributed among farmers? Assessing socio-demographics of solar irrigation in Nepal
Solar-powered irrigation pumps are a vital tool for both climate change adaptation and mitigation. Since most developing countries cannot fully utilize large-scale global funds for climate finance due to limited institutional capacities, small-scale solar irrigation pumps (SIPs) can provide a climate-resilient technological solution. We study the case of a subsidized SIP program in Nepal to understand who likely benefits from a small-scale climat…
Equity in climate scholarship: A manifesto for action
We -the Editors of Climate and Development -react in both delight and dismay to the 'Hot List' of 1000 influential scholars in climate change published by Reuters 1 on 20 April 2021.Delight because the compilation of such a list demonstrates the critical importance of climate change as a major global challenge, celebrating climate change knowledge-holders who are at the forefront of ground-breaking and influential thinking and research.As a clima…
