Energy is vital to the global food system and food security, but countries will need to explore greener energy paths to address climate change. Opportunities for achieving both green energy and food security goals include solar and hydropower in Africa, biofuels in poor countries, and energy-saving cookstoves.
The case study presented in this section aims to estimate the economic value of the water services used for hydropower in tropical forests in Costa Rica, and to assess the expected economic impact due to climate change.
This objective of this report is to assess the potential impact of global climate change on the Chilean hydropower sector and thereby contribute to the development of the study "The Economics of Climate Change in Chile"
