چکیده
During the last years, significant changes happened in seasonal river hydrology Europe due to climate change. Nevertheless, according presented analysis, total water runoff for hydropower generation did not The fact is an important policy implication small promotion Ukraine because it belongs that region and has similar conditions. Having analysed potential, paper describes main advantages limitations of implementing projects Ukraine. cost electricity generated by a plant determined compared with current feed-in tariff. calculations show tariff 1.4 times higher than cost, making implementation plants profitable investors. Since state provides sufficient economic support this sector's development, financial non-economic barriers significantly hinder deployment are considered.

متن کاملProjected change in global fisheries revenues under climate change
Previous studies highlight the winners and losers in fisheries under climate change based on shifts in biomass, species composition and potential catches. Understanding how climate change is likely to alter the fisheries revenues of maritime countries is a crucial next step towards the development of effective socio-economic policy and food sustainability strategies to mitigate and adapt to cli...
متن کاملGlobal food security under climate change.
This article reviews the potential impacts of climate change on food security. It is found that of the four main elements of food security, i.e., availability, stability, utilization, and access, only the first is routinely addressed in simulation studies. To this end, published results indicate that the impacts of climate change are significant, however, with a wide projected range (between 5 ...
