| description |
The objective of study of the impacts of
climate change on mountain hydrology is to develop a
methodology to assess the net impacts of climate change on
the hydrological response in mountainous regions. This is
done through a case study in the Peruvian Andes. There are
few examples of predictions of the impact of climate change
on resource availability and even fewer examples of the
applications of such predictions to planning for sustainable
economic development. This report presents a summary of the
efforts of a Bank energy and climate change team to develop
methodological tools for the assessment of climate impacts
on surface hydrology in the Peruvian Andes. The importance
of analyzing the potential climate impacts on hydrology in
Peru arises in part from concerns about the retreat of
tropical glaciers, the drying of unique Andean wetland
ecosystems, as well as increased weather variability and
weather extremes, all of which will affect water regulation.
The study, together with a recently published report by the
World Bank, Peru Overcoming the Barriers to Hydropower, is
intended to inform plans for energy development in Peru and
enable provides some insights into how hydrology may behave
under future climate scenarios in Peru, the main purpose is
to contribute to the methodological approaches to anticipate
impacts from climate change in the Andes Region and other
mountain ranges |
