The framework is most effective when a wide range of risks must be considered, as is typically the case with high-value hydropower investments. In order to gain maximum benefit from the framework, it should be conducted at both project and basin scale, first to answer questions immediately relevant to investors and then to provide perspective on alternative investment portfolios that may yield greater returns.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOWASTEIMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGEUNCERTAINTIESNOTEMPERATURECARBON DIOXIDEFOSSIL FUELSCARBONINCOMEANNUAL GROWTH RATEACTIVITIESACCESS TO MODERN ENERGYGENERATIONINTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCYHYDROLOGYCLEAN ENERGYTRADITIONAL BIOMASSEMISSIONSCOST ESTIMATESPORTFOLIOCLIMATE UNCERTAINTYGASMODELSPRICESUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTPOWER SYSTEMENERGY CONSUMERSDISTRIBUTION OF ENERGYPRESENT VALUEBIOMASSCO2PETROLEUMSCENARIOSOILEMISSION FACTORENERGY MIXSUSTAINABLE ENERGYFOREST RESIDUESCAPACITYENERGY SUPPLYENERGY INTENSITYTOTAL CONSUMPTIONELECTRIFICATIONCLIMATE CHANGE POLICYOPTIONSWATERSOLID FUELSENERGY RESOURCESPRIMARY ENERGY CONSUMPTIONRENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCESCONVENTION ON CLIMATE CHANGERAINFALLGLACIERSLONG-TERM FINANCINGGAS EMISSIONSPELLETSGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTPRECIPITATIONFUELSFINANCEWATER ANALYSISINVESTMENT DECISIONSENERGY CONSUMPTIONEMISSIONGREENHOUSECONSUMPTIONLEADHEATCLIMATE CHANGEELECTRIC POWERBALANCESOURCE OF ENERGYBLACK CARBONVALUEPOWERELECTRICITYCLIMATEDEMANDCHANGES IN CLIMATEHYDROPOWERWORLD ENERGYFORESTPETROLEUM GASCOMARKETENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCHHYDROPOWER PLANTPOLICYPRIMARY ENERGYENERGY EFFICIENCYENERGY DEMANDELECTRICITY PRICESCLIMATE RESILIENCECOMBUSTIONINVESTMENTGASEOUS FUELSCOALFINANCIAL RISKSSUPPLYFUELGLOBAL ENERGY MIXLESSAVAILABILITYFACILITIESHYDROPOWER GENERATIONBOTTOM LINEINVESTMENTSMETHANEBRIQUETTESHOUSEHOLD ENERGYENERGY INDUSTRIESLIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GASRENEWABLE ENERGYRESILIENCE TO CLIMATE CHANGEFRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON CLIMATE CHANGEHEAT GENERATIONPIPELINECAPITAL COSTSFOSSILNATURAL HAZARDSPRICESAPPROACHBENEFITSENERGYBriefWorld Bank10.1596/24254
