Resource Rent Taxation and Benchmarking – A New Perspective for the Swiss Hydropower Sector [PDF]
The electricity generation in Switzerland is mainly based on hydropower (55% of total production). The exploitation of water in the hydropower sector can generate significant so-called resource rents.

ABSTRACT Freshwater ecosystems harbour nearly half of all known fish species yet rank among the most threatened on the planet, with biological invasion operating as one of the primary functional destabilizers in systems where dam cascades have already dismantled natural biogeographical barriers. In the Upper Paraná River basin, which supports high fish

The critical role of political trust in the energy transition
Abstract Achieving net‐zero CO2 emissions requires sustained collaboration between civil society and the private and public sectors across time and geographies, but low trust in and among these actors impedes coordinated action. This multidisciplinary review examines how different forms of trust, in particular political trust (i.e., trust between ...

Abstract The Lake Baikal, containing one‐fifth of Earth's unfrozen surface freshwater, faces increasing hydrological uncertainty under climate change. Its water balance depends on Selenga River inflow and Angara River outflow. We present a 343‐year combined Selenga and Angara streamflow reconstruction using a tree‐ring network to provide a multi ...

Impact of Wildfire‐Emitted Black Carbon on Snowmelt Across Western North America
Abstract Wildfires are a major source of black carbon (BC) and their increasing frequency and intensity have enhanced BC deposition onto snowpack across western North America, which accelerates snowmelt and triggers multiple feedbacks that can substantially alter atmospheric composition and regional hydrology. Using the Weather Research and Forecasting

From Rare to Recurrent: Intensifying Hot–Dry Extremes Across Romania
Romania has undergone a marked shift toward more frequent and spatially extensive compound hot–dry months since the 1990s, with persistent hotspots in the eastern Moldavian Plateau and the lower Danube–Bărăgan–Black Sea lowlands and comparatively buffered conditions at higher elevations.
