Climate, Land, Energy and Water System Nexus Optimization Modeling for Nepal

This paper introduces the amazing CLEWs Nepal model - a powerful tool that sheds light on intricate interplay between climate policies and crucial resources like land, energy, water. With more countries taking bold steps to combat change, it's understand ripple effects of such decisions other sectors. That's where come in, providing decision-makers with valuable insights into trade-offs synergies involved in various policies.
 examines impact increasing global demand for power greenhouse gas emissions, water usage, hydropower production Nepal. The study projects by 2050, under current scenario based optimum growth rate, country will only need generate 9 GW power, which can be mostly fulfilled hydropower. However, there rise CO2 particularly from transport biomass To mitigate this growth, recommends improving irrigated farming forest conservation. implementation Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) also contribute reducing emissions production. We've calibrated reveal fascinating long-term energy consumption patterns across different sectors, varying crop irrigation levels, total usage public And that's not all we've factored produced while optimizing food, demands public. Our offers range policy options Nepal, including an NDC scenario, help reduce preserve vital land. identified costs technology mix necessary successfully implement these policies.
