Interdisciplinary Knowledge Frameworks for Transboundary River Basins

This report details a July 2014 workshop in Buenos Aires, Argentina, titled 'Hydroenergy and Climate Change,' which aimed to frame global change research questions regarding hydropower development and water-energy futures in South America, with a specific focus on the Uruguay River Basin.

• The 'Hydroenergy and Climate Change' workshop held in July 2014 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, sought to identify global change research questions concerning water-energy futures and hydropower development in South America. The event brought together a diverse group of experts, including biologists, hydrologists, social scientists, water engineers, policy specialists, and social advocacy actors.
• The workshop established three primary objectives: the generation of interdisciplinary knowledge, the capacity building and skill development for regional and local stakeholders, and the creation of collaborative spaces for stakeholders and policy issues concerning the governance of transboundary basins.
• The report highlights emerging interdisciplinary themes regarding climate change and hydropower specifically within the Uruguay River Basin. It proposes future steps to establish an interdisciplinary socio-scientific network involving social actors, policy makers, and scientists to develop user-oriented global change research and governance practices.
