Energy-Water-Climate Planning for Development Without Carbon in Latin America and the Caribbean
This report by the Stockholm Environment Institute examines the viability of hydroelectric power as a low-carbon energy source for Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) under the framework of "development without carbon" (DWC). It analyzes the intersection of energy needs, water availability, and climate change, highlighting how shifting precipitation and glacial retreat threaten hydropower reliability. The document advocates for integrated planning using the Water Evaluation And Planning (WEAP) and Long-range Energy Alternatives Planning (LEAP) tools to manage the water-energy nexus.
