However, high-resolution and bias-corrected SSR datasets for India remain scarce, limiting accurate assessment of future solar energy potential. In this study, we develop daily bias-corrected and statistically downscaled (BCD) dataset of SSR at a spatial resolution of 0.25°×0.25° for the Indian subcontinent. Simulations from nine Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase-6 (CMIP6) climate models are used for the historical period (1951–2014) and future period (2021–2100) under three Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP1–2.6, SSP2–4.5, SSP5–8.5). The BCD was implemented using the Empirical Quantile Mapping (EQM) method at each fine-resolution grid point, improving local-scale variability representation. ERA5’s surface solar radiation downward (SSRD) is used as the reference dataset to downscale, bias correct, and validate the models. Evaluation of BCD dataset against observations showed substantial performance improvement, with correlation coefficients increasing from 0.65 to 0.81 (raw) to 0.89–0.94 (corrected) and reducing root mean square error across all models. These improvements in dataset reliability lay a strong foundation for analysing future SSR dynamics under different climate scenarios.</div><div>Future projections indicate a progressive decline in SSR with increasing emission intensity: modest changes under SSP1–2.6, with slight positive anomalies over parts of northern India, and pronounced reductions of up to –10 % under SSP2–4.5 and SSP5–8.5, particularly over central, southern, and eastern India. Decadal trends reveal average declines of –0.11 %, –0.52 %, and –0.60 % per decade under SSP1–2.6, SSP2–4.5, and SSP5–8.5, respectively, with a temporary slowdown in mid-century (2041–2060) under SSP2–4.5 followed by renewed intensification.

We demonstrate the approach by examining hydrogen hub acceptance using survey data from 1682 Australian residents who were asked about hosting a hub in their communities. The resulting Bayesian network outperforms eight widely used structure-agnostic machine learning algorithms in predictive accuracy and identifies the strong causal influence of perceived risk and economic benefit on hub acceptance.

As a result, IAMs within the FWEE framework have become a major research focus, attracting considerable academic attention. Despite this, current research is fragmented and lacks a cohesive framework. To fill this gap, we conducted a bibliometric analysis using data from the Web of Science Core Collection, reviewing IAMs research in the FWEE domain from 1990 to 2024. Utilizing VOSviewer and CiteSpace for data visualization and assessment, we mapped the research landscape of IAMs in FWEE.

The present study analysed the impact of climate change on water availability, thermal energy output, and rice yield in the Kangsabati River basin using CMIP6 data, and the basin's WEF nexus using a newly developed WEF Nexus model. The WEF nexus model has been developed using the Modified Pardee Rand indicator–based approach, which primarily uses secondary data for the analysis, except climatic data like rainfall and evapotranspiration. We initially analysed the WEF nexus for 2011 and 2021, and then based on the decadal change, we projected different inputs of the WEF nexus model except for climate data, rice yield and thermal energy production (examined from EC-Earth3 GCM, AquaCrop and scenario-based empirical energy model, respectively). We used the WEF nexus model to forecast the WEF nexus for 2031 to 2091, at a decadal time step, under SSP245 and SSP585. Results indicate that the annual average precipitation in the near-future will likely be higher in SSP245 than in SSP585. Under SSP245 and SS585, the basin's actual evapotranspiration will increase by 3.70–8.20 %, while thermal energy production will decline by 0.21–2.42 %. Furthermore, SSP245 forecasts a 10–15 % drop in paddy output during Kharif (June–September) and 15–20 % during Rabi (October–December), while SSP585 forecasts a higher decline of 15–20 % and 20–25 %. The study also reveals that the Water, Energy and Food Sub-indices, and WEF Nexus Index of the basin will decline by 42.33 %, 1.67 %, 7.67 % and 19.33 %, respectively, under SSP245, and 25.67 %, 4.67 %, 8.67 % and 11.33 %, respectively, under SSP585 in 2091 compared to 2021. This study provides recommendations to achieve SDGs 2, 6, and 7 targets by mitigating the impact of climate change on WEF security.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72914,"journal":{"name":"Energy and climate change","volume":"6 ","pages":"Article 100221"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145519422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
