System complexity and policy integration challenges: The Brazilian Energy- Water-Food Nexus (2019, background): “6% [63]), making it low-carbon, but also vulnerable to changes in climate and rainfall [64,65].”
Climate change impacts in Latin America and the Caribbean and their implications for development (2017, background): “Similarly, De Lucena et al. (2009) also only accounted for the average behavior of flows and did not integrate potential change in seasonality or the effects of extreme dry or wet events on hydropower generation.”
Towards achieving energy for sustainable development in Nigeria (2014, background): “Many developing countries—including Bolivia, Bangladesh [81], Brazil [79], China, India [82], Pakistan, Tonga, South Africa and Zambia [83]—have adopted RE policies, such as connection targets and subsidies, in order to provide access to energy services in rural areas.”
