项目摘要

The world is moving into an unprecedented era of dam-building with more than 3700 large dams currently planned or under construction, much of which are in DAC list countries. These projects have the potential to contribute significantly to the economic and social changes that underpin global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, past experiences show that poorly designed and planned dam projects conversely may have large negative impacts on the poor, and exacerbate political instability and environmental degradation. This proposal seeks to create the knowledge base, capacity and capability for a 'Dams 2.0' future, in which dams built in DAC list countries are selected, designed and operated to support resilient and sustainable national, regional and global development in a 2.0 degC world. This will be achieved by understanding and assessing dams as interdependent human-nexus (water-energy-food-environment) system interventions and enabling stakeholders to negotiate economic, social, political and ecological impacts despite future uncertainty.Our proposal will address this ambitious goal through unique cross- and inter-disciplinary research and capacity development partnerships between three sets of key actors. First, our project will stimulate collaboration between several UK centres of research excellence in development, water-energy engineering, economics, food security, climate change, finance and ecology (the universities of Manchester (UM), Cambridge, University College London (UCL), Surrey, Newcastle and Southampton, the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED), and the International Water Management Institute (IWMI). Second, we will consolidate links with a carefully selected network of researchers and policy-makers in 4 countries/regions (The Centre for Science and Industrial (CSIR) - Water in Ghana, Technological University of Yangon in Myanmar, Jordanian Institute of Science and Technology in the Middle East region, Institute of Economic Growth in Delhi, India). Thirdly, we will seek to work collaboratively with some of the world's most influential development organisations such as The World Bank (WB), International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the International Finance Corporation (IFC), The Nature Conservancy (TNC), the International Hydropower Association (IHA), and the Climate Bond Initiative (CBI).Dams 2.0 is led by a team with a proven track record in successfully managing large consortium grants across multiple countries and disciplines that focus on applied development and policy impact challenges. Our work will provide tailored guidance and build capacity for water-energy-food systems management in each of our case studies regions. In addition, our project will create a framework and accompanying software toolkit for dam system design and training worldwide. This online software will link several open access water, energy, food, and ecological simulation models to state-of-the-art decision-making under uncertainty approaches. This software will be made accessible via an associated suite of online training materials (games & modules we plan to develop with IWMI and the World Bank) for use by dam selection/design/operation teams globally in a range of settings.

世界正在进入一个前所未有的大坝建设时代，目前有3700多座大坝正在规划或建设中，其中大部分位于发援会名单上的国家。这些项目有可能为支撑全球可持续发展目标（SDG）的经济和社会变革做出重大贡献。然而，过去的经验表明，设计和规划不当的水坝项目反而可能对穷人产生巨大的负面影响，并加剧政治不稳定和环境退化。该提案旨在为“水坝2.0”的未来创造知识基础、能力和能力，在这个未来中，在发援会名单上的国家建造的水坝被选择、设计和运营，以支持在2.0摄氏度的世界中有弹性和可持续的国家、区域和全球发展。这将通过理解和评估大坝作为相互依赖的人类关系（水-能源-粮食-环境）系统干预措施来实现，并使利益相关者能够在未来不确定的情况下就经济，社会，政治和生态影响进行谈判。我们的提案将通过独特的跨学科研究和三组关键参与者之间的能力发展伙伴关系来实现这一雄心勃勃的目标。首先，我们的项目将促进联合王国在发展、水能源工程、经济学、粮食安全、气候变化、金融和生态学方面的几个卓越研究中心（曼彻斯特大学（UM）、剑桥大学、伦敦大学学院（UCL）、萨里大学、纽卡斯尔大学和南安普顿大学、国际环境与发展研究所（IIED）和国际水管理研究所（IIED））之间的合作。第二，我们将巩固与4个国家/地区（加纳的科学与工业中心（CSIR）-水，缅甸的仰光理工大学，中东地区的约旦科学技术研究所，印度德里的经济增长研究所）精心挑选的研究人员和决策者网络的联系。第三，我们将寻求与世界上一些最有影响力的发展组织合作，如世界银行（WB）、国际自然保护联盟（IUCN）、国际金融公司（IFC）、自然保护协会（TNC）、国际水电协会（IHA）、水坝2.0由一个团队领导，该团队在成功管理多个国家和学科的大型财团赠款方面拥有良好的记录，这些赠款专注于应用发展和政策影响挑战。我们的工作将为我们每个案例研究区域的水-能源-粮食系统管理提供量身定制的指导和能力建设。此外，我们的项目将为全球大坝系统设计和培训创建一个框架和配套软件工具包。这个在线软件将把几个开放获取的水、能源、食品和生态模拟模型与不确定性方法下的最先进决策联系起来。该软件将通过一套相关的在线培训材料（我们计划与ICOF和世界银行一起开发的游戏和模块）提供给全球范围内的大坝选择/设计/运营团队使用。
