Abstract

We present results of a new framework which explores the interplay between adaptation and mitigation in the combined energy, water and food system. Novel aspects include the consideration of climate impacts in transition pathways and biophysical representation of impacts across the aforementioned sectors. We consider multi-sector climate impacts including, e.g., precipitation, crop yields, cooling degree days as well as related adaptation mechanisms (i.e. yield improvement measures, power plant cooling, alternative water sources and treatment) in two different Integrated Assessment Models (IAM) frameworks. This is an important innovation for these tools widely used in mitigation and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) analyses.
