The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is a climate change-sensitive region, facing frequent and intense heat waves (HWs). CPEC expected to experience simultaneous increase in population temperature the coming decades, which could exacerbate human exposure future HWs. However, it unknown how much of would likely be exposed HWs under changing climate. This study used Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project 6 (CMIP6) models projections estimate daytime, nighttime, compound during 2071–2100, relative 1985–2014 four Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs). results indicate that region will probably highest number nighttime HWs, followed by daytime northern, southwestern, southern parts CPEC. largest eastern southwestern SSP3-70|SSP3, SSP5-8.5|SSP5, SSP2-4.5|SSP2, SSP1-2.6|SSP1. reveal climatic interactive effects significantly escalate probability 2015-HWs-like events such extremes higher return period 2015-HW-like decrease, indicates their occurrence selected SSPs. findings highlight need for urgent actions limit greenhouse gas emissions adopt effective adaptation measures order avoid negative consequences on local future.

The dependency of photovoltaic (PV) power generation on meteorological parameters can impact production due to weather-induced variability. During the day, fluctuations in radiation introduce intermittency generated, raising reliability and grid stability issues at higher penetration levels. Long-term future resource assessment provides an effective tool for estimating essential pre-feasibility site assessments around world. Australia has high solar capacity, with several farms operational developmental stage. Using as a case study, this research aims understand Australia's distribution variability using regional climate model projections under emission scenario. Results indicate abundance density Australia, especially North (450-500Wm−2). will be more reliable Eastern ∼ 5% increase density. suggest reduction (∼20-minute lull periods) East clear-sky days/year (∼20 days/year). Resource Sun Cable New England farm located revealed scope days sites. This long-term analysis help identify regions where PV systems least susceptible losses intermittency. Furthermore, study critical decision-making processes like planning storage systems, selection, opportunities create hybrid co-existence wind technology, etc., mitigate risks associated intermittent generation.

Abstract Wind and solar energy are crucial for meeting the growing demand mitigating impact of climate change, their sources show a climate‐dependence. Here, based on outputs from two regional models (RCMs) driven by three global within Coordinated Regional Climate Downscaling Experiments‐East Asia (CORDEX‐EA‐II), effects future change wind power density (WPD) photovoltaic potential (PVP) in China under Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) 2.6 scenario RCP8.5 comprehensively investigated, uncertainty also quantified. Results that all RCMs can reproduce observed WPD PVP employing Quantile Delta Mapping method speed simulations. For projections, annual averages tend to decrease −11.67% −1.7% −4.6% −1.12%, respectively, with more significant reduction than RCP2.6. Note uncertainties exist among RCMs' simulations terms projections long‐term trends. Further analysis reveals both primarily internal variability most sub‐regions except Tibetan Plateau, where GCM emission scenarios play dominant role projection, respectively. This study highlights benefits controlling greenhouse gas emissions enhancing stabilizing renewable China.
