This research paper examines how land use, climate, and hydropower development drive hydrological alterations in the Srepok River Basin, utilizing IHA software and the Range of Variability Approach to quantify impacts on river ecosystems and water management.

This SEI synthesis brief argues that low-carbon energy transitions must explicitly integrate gender and social equity to avoid marginalizing vulnerable groups. Through case studies in regions like the Lower Mekong and countries such as Zambia and Sweden, it demonstrates how political power dynamics, socio-cultural norms, and systemic barriers in job markets and technology adoption can perpetuate inequality despite technological advances.
