FOREWORD
At the heart of sustainable development is the goal of satisfying basic human needs, such as energy, food and water, while addressing challenges such as climate change, which can affect the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The IAEA assists Member States in using nuclear science and technology to meet their development objectives in areas including energy, human health, food production, water management and environmental protection, supporting their efforts to reach the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations. In the field of energy, the IAEA’s assistance to countries ranges from supporting the efficient and safe use of nuclear power to building capacity in national and regional energy planning to address multiple objectives of sustainable development.
This publication presents the findings of the coordinated research project (CRP) Assessing Interdependencies between Energy, Water, Land Use and Climate Change, which addressed the development and application of an analytical framework for energy planning that enables the integrated assessment of climate, land (including food), energy and water (CLEW). Research teams from ten IAEA Member States participated in the CRP, and the results and analysis presented in the publication are based largely on their diligent work. The wide range of research questions, applied methodologies and analytical results included in the CRP have helped to advance the state of knowledge of linkages between CLEW domains and to establish a solid foundation for further applications of the framework.
This work complements major IAEA activities in capacity building in energy planning, nuclear energy technology development, the sustainable management of agriculture and water resources, and the monitoring of and adaptation to climate change. In energy planning, the CLEW framework expands established IAEA activities strengthening Member States’ capacities to elaborate sustainable energy strategies and to conduct studies for electricity supply and energy system options, energy investment planning and energy–environment policy formulation. This includes strategic support for Member States in the integration of energy–environment policy, for example via major events such as the International Ministerial Conference on Nuclear Power in the 21st Century, in Abu Dhabi in 2017, and the International Conference on Climate Change and the Role of Nuclear Power, in Vienna in 2019. In the broader energy domain, the IAEA fosters the efficient and safe use of nuclear power by supporting new and existing nuclear programmes around the world, catalysing innovation and building capacity in nuclear information and knowledge management. This includes initiatives that are directly relevant to CLEW, such as supporting Member States to develop strategies for efficient water management in nuclear power plant construction, commissioning and operation to protect water resources and to ensure a reliable energy supply. Examples include support in identifying and implementing water supply options, such as desalination technologies that can supplement water needs beyond the power plant. In addition, activities indirectly related to CLEW include the development of advanced and innovative nuclear reactor technologies that can serve to meet increasing energy demands in a sustainable manner. Complementary activities outside the energy domain include the Joint FAO/IAEA Programme of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture, established in 1964, which supports the safe and appropriate use of nuclear and related technologies in food and agriculture so as to contribute to global food security and sustainable agricultural development. Similarly, the IAEA provides Member States with the information and technical skills to understand and manage water resources. Many of these activities also benefit from IAEA support to Member States in monitoring the climate with nuclear and isotopic techniques and improving the resilience of agriculture and water systems to adapt to effects of climate change. In addition to the CLEW framework, these activities also contribute to the effective long term management of key resources for sustainable development.
