Abstract:

<em>The present research paper depicts racial issues and stereotyping of blacks in Paul Beatty’s novel Slumberland. This novel reflects that racism has not completely eroded from the America society. Through the protagonist, Ferguson W. Sowell, Beatty portrays racial discrimination as characters suffer from racism and loss of identity. The novel emphasizes that people of colour are marginalized, victimized, demoralized, and oppressed in American society. It seemsracism has disappeared in the United States of America, but it is still prevalent in the minds of Americans. Through various stereotypical images, blacks in American society are dehumanized and demoralized. Beatty reflects that there are many negative stereotypes against black Americans. So, the objective of the paper is to show the various challenges of black people in American society through the novel Slumberland.</em>

Abstract:

This article analyzes the genre transformation of the fairy tale in the modern American novel. Reference to the model of the fairy tale genre is very relevant for the American novel at the turn of the century. This is primarily due to the existence of moral trust, because in the modern situation semantic boundaries become an important factor of the authors’ constant interest in this genre. The appeal of modern American writers to the fairy tale genre is also determined by the tradition of using it in American literature to symbolically generalize and understand the problems of modern reality.

Abstract:

This paper examines the themes of cultural preservation and integration in Leslie Marmon Silko’s novel Ceremony, focusing on the character Tayo and his role in bridging the gap between Native American and modern American cultures. Historically, Native Americans have faced isolation, whether by choice or by force, leading to economic, social, and cultural challenges. Government policies such as the Dawes Act and efforts to assimilate Native Americans into modern American society through education and religious conversion have disrupted traditional ways of life and led to a legacy of mistrust and marginalization. Ceremony portrays a path forward, advocating for a balance between maintaining cultural integrity and embracing necessary changes for survival. The novel emphasizes the importance of cultural adaptation and integration, suggesting that Native Americans can thrive without losing their identities by engaging with the broader American society. Through Tayo’s journey of healing and his interactions with the medicine man Betonie, Silko illustrates the potential for cultural hybridity to foster resilience and understanding. By presenting a nuanced vision of coexistence, Ceremony calls for mutual respect and collaboration between Native Americans and modern Americans. The novel encourages a reimagining of cultural identity that is inclusive and adaptable, ensuring that Native American traditions remain vibrant and relevant in a changing world. This paper argues that cultural survival depends not on isolation but on the ability to adapt and integrate, creating a future where multiple cultures can coexist and enrich each other.

Abstract:

In 1973, at the suggestion of her mentor Shirley Graham Du Bois, the Egyptian scholar, activist, teacher, and novelist Radwa Ashour enrolled at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, to study African American literature and culture. Ashour’s 1975 dissertation “The Search for a Black Poetics: A Study of Afro-American Critical Writings,” along with her 1983 autobiography,Al-Rihla: Ayyam taliba misriyya fi amrika[The Journey: An Egyptian Woman Student’s Memoirs in America], specifically engage with debates that emerged at the First International Congress of Negro Writers and Artists in September 1956 between African Americans and others from the African diaspora (most notably Aimé Césaire) regarding the applicability of the “colonial thesis” to the United States. This article argues that Ashour’s early engagement with African American cultural politics are formative of her fiction, particularly her 1991 novel,Siraaj: An Arab Tale,which examines overlapping questions of slavery, empire, and colonialism in the Arab world.

Abstract:

This dissertation uses the military, technological, and environmental context of the Civil War, the First World War, and the Second World War to explain the evolution of American literature in the era of total war through eight key novels and related visual media. Because industrial weapons and massive draft armies had the capacity to destroy whole landscapes, visual and material artifacts of these wars emphasized the relationship between humans and the wastelands of war. When official rhetoric after each war emphasized regrowth and rebirth, redefining battlefields as sacred ground, the war novels of this period questioned heroism, idealism, and even humanism. Considering these novels as environmental texts reveals that they are not abstract political arguments but material correctives to the state's claim to speak for the dead. They must be read in terms of the technologies and landscapes to which they refer, necessitating a historical engagement with battlefields and artifacts as well as a critical engagement with theories of material ecocriticism and biopolitics. This framework of study reveals the ways that changing ideas about the environment shaped the modern American war novel and the ways that the material politics that these novels expressed also changed the representation of war in popular culture.

Full text

Abstract:

The four main thesis novels are Alas's La Regenta (1884), Gald6s's Fortunata y Jacinta (1886-7), Puig's Boquitas pintadas (1969) and Cabrera Infante 's La Habana para un infante difill1to (1979). Specific criteria for the Don Juan novel are drawn up and seducers not fulfilling the prerequisites of the attractive, vain, sexually potent, deceitful and diabolically impious Don Juan rejected. Classical literature ( myths of Zeus, satyr stories, Ovid's AI'S AlI1atoria) and early Spanish ballads concerning irreverent gallants are posited as influences on the Don Juan legend. The two key plays are Tirso de Molina's EI bur/adOJ' de Sevilla (1630) and Zorrilla's Don Juan Tenorio (1844). Other sources include Don Juan works by Zamora, Espronceda, Moliere, Shadwell, Byron, Lenau, Shaw, Mozart and Sh'auss and the memoirs of Casanova. The progression is h'aced from the early Don Juan plays, in which the seducer's father is the sole parental presence, to the novel, in which Don Juan's domineering and adoring mother exercises a powerful influence on her son. Early classical mother figures such as Venus (Cupid), Liriope (Narcissus) and Jocasta (Oedipus) are analysed as her predecessors. The three main psychologists consulted regarding the seducer's umesolved Oedipus complex are Freud, Jung and Otto Rank. Other theorists include Maraft6n, Kierkegaard, Lafora, Brachfeld, Weinstein, Miller, Aramoni, Mandrell, Smeed and Kristeva. The thesis counterbalances the views of those who see Don Juan as immature, effeminate, melancholic or hysterical with others who consider him to be powerful, masculine, confident and eloquent, revealing the modern Don Juan to be a complex and multifaceted figure. The importance of the novels' musical themes is considered together with the different ways in which Don Juan is made to suffer in variations ofTirso's hellfire, The thesis demonstrates that, in spite of being metamorphosed into a mother's boy, Don Juan continues to wreak his infernal charm over author and audience alike.

Abstract:

The inherent flexibility of the letter form or epistolary mode of writing frees the writer within the framework of salutations and closings to use vocabulary and language to create, to omit or to invert conventional constraints imposed on women by a patriarchal society. The letter begins as a blank page but becomes the space for writing one’s personal thoughts and emotions to the absent other in a communicative effort to minimize the separation. This dissertation examines the female narrator in actual letters written during the Spanish emigration to the New World in the sixteenth century and four epistolary novels written by female authors during the nineteenth- and twentieth centuries. The female “I” emerges in the selected texts and attests to the writer’s ability to inhabit her own writing space. By applying Mikhail Bakhtin’s theory of dialogism and Janet Altman’s formal approach to the epistolary novel, the epistolary and literary textual creations by women writers challenge the silence and traditional anonymity generally assigned to women. I explore the cultural enculturation of the transgressive female who loses her “self”, her very being because of her inability to conform to societal norms as outlined by Barbara Creed and Elaine Showalter. In addition, I apply ideas from Linda Kauffman’s study on the transformation of the female writer who metamorphoses from victim to artist through the use of pen and paper. The female ‘self’ crafted by each of the letter writers is studied as they narrate their space, exercise agency, and negotiate the conflicts and contradictions of their domestic and public space. The epistolary, whether actual or fictional, becomes a textual creation challenging the silence and traditional anonymity assigned to women. The letter, when used as a literary device, is the perfect vehicle to create a narrator who controls his or her own life’s narrative. The writer constructs an implicit recipient linking the addressee and engages the reader in an absorbing story.

Full text

Abstract:

The present work intends to give a look inside the novel: Regina. 2 de octubre no se olvida, written in 1987 by the Mexican author Antonio Velasco Pina. The novel is an esoteric reinterpretation of the massacre that occurred in Mexico in 1968 when the Mexican government killed many students in a manifestation that was taking place at the Plaza de las Tres Culturas situated in Tlatelolco. The thesis is centered on the esoteric aspect of the novel as a new identity proposal for the Mexican society. To show this, our research includes the theory of construction of identity by opposites. We based this part on the studies done by Daniel Mato and Jorge Larrain. In the same line of thought the present research intends to show that identity is not a steady aspect of human life, but rather a continual construction and deconstruction of it. To show this, we are comparing the novel and what we believe is a new identity proposal with other works about Mexican identity such as the writings of authors like Octavio Paz, Jose Vasconcelos, Roger Bartra, Carlos Monsivais and others.

Full text

Abstract:

This article aims to study the essayistic pages where Meneghello ponders on the novel in the Italian and European context. The main goal is to outline a theory of the novel proposed by Meneghello. The writer’s reflections will be compared to other essays of his time (notably The Sense of an Ending, Neorealism’s Narrative and American Lessons), and with further contemporary essays which study the Italian novel. The aim is to demonstrate that Meneghello’s theory of the novel is strictly related to the relationship between experience and writing, beyond the dichotomic subdivision between fiction and nonfiction. Therefore, a comparative path is drawn that starts with detachment from neorealism, passing through modernism and arriving at a confrontation between neo-modernism and the theory of the rhizome. In doing so, the article analyses differences and affinities with the novelists who Meneghello quotes the most: from Vittorini to Henry James, from Joyce to Calvino.

Abstract:

This chapter introduces John Dos Passos’s epic novel U. S. A. published in three installments across the 1930s. As a modern(ist) epic novel, U. S. A. subverts the longstanding American ideology of individualism, which was itself tightly imbricated with American democracy and American capitalism. Much of the fealty Americans paid to individualism developed on the frontier, where settlers were expected to provide for their own welfare, safety, and livelihood away from the limiting influence of cloistering society. At the same time, as the nation became increasingly populated the model of the self-sufficient farmer or frontiersman became increasingly outdated and unrealistic, especially as the mass economy of the twentieth century threatened to make each worker no more than a cog in a machine. New models of collectivism promised a more equitable future upon adoption.

Abstract:

This chapter explores The Making of Americans in depth, beginning with its status as a national epic and encyclopaedic narrative. As I argue, Stein serves as both the author and a narrator-character in the novel, attempting to chronicle the immigrant’s journey of two American families across three generations. As an stylistic innovator, Stein utilizes several modernist techniques, among them repetition, recursion, and the continuous present very tense, by which she creates a novel that is at heart anti-plot, anti-narrative, and anti-progress. The essential tragedy of the Dehnings and Herslands indicates that Americans must abandon the heedless pursuit of material success and progress and reorient toward more “human and humane” values.

Full text

Abstract:

Abstract In this case study an unconventional wet gas (WG) gathering pipeline in North America has been analyzed by Internal Corrosion Direct Assessment (ICDA) using a tool that integrates thermodynamic and fluid dynamic capabilities with different proprietary corrosion and erosion models. It has been possible to automatize and guide the acquisition of input data, the choice of ICDA type following AMPP(1) standards and the definition of pipeline regions. The tool automatizes the application of a methodology that comprises flow simulations (steady and transient) coupled to a variety of erosion (solid and liquid) and corrosion predictive models (bottom of line, top of line, localized and microbial corrosion). This has enabled the operator to visualize flow regimes, areas of liquid accumulation, corrosion, and erosion mechanisms, as well as to develop an integrated penetration rate model. A blind assessment has been made and compared to actual detailed examination results via wall loss profiling by intelligent pigging, discrete ultrasound measurements and characterization of retrieved solid. The penetration rate model not only matches the main observed corrosion mechanism (localized corrosion) but also approximates the observed penetration rates with adequate accuracy, within 30% relative error. The model has been calibrated against this data and used for wall loss forecasting.

Abstract:

A Farewell to Arms, written by Ernest Hemingway at the age of thirty, is widely regarded as the best American novel to come out of World War I. It tells the enduring tale of an American ambulance driver on the Italian front and his love affair with a stunning English nurse. This compelling, semiautobiographical work depicts the horrific realities of war and the suffering of lovers caught in its unstoppable clutches, set against the backdrop of the impending horrors of the battlefield—tired, disheartened men marching in the rain during the German attack on Caporetto; the intense conflict between loyalty and desertion.

Abstract:

In the cultural sciences, the West and the East are seen as two fundamentally different types of worldview and social order; “They constantly interact, assimilate each other's values, enrich each other“ – says researcher J. Stidman. If earlier it was thought that Eastern and Western cultures did not intersect, as the famous English writer R.S. "The West is the West, the East is the East, and they will never meet," Kipling said. West and East are distinguished by many characteristics, including a view of the world and the definition of a person's place in it. The novel "Princess Diaries" by the American writer Jean Sesson tells the story of these two different worlds, which are works of the epistolary genre characteristic of Western literature. In it, an Arab princess tells the story of the unjust status of Arab women in the form of diaries. One of the main problems of modern life is the so-called gender problem, which was talked about openly in the 70s of the 20th century. An unusually bold woman who can resist an unjust tradition. The own voice of the author is lost in the work, we can assume that it has each narrator, which is one of the distinctive features of postmodern literature. Based on an ideological-artistic analysis of literary Orientalism, the work "Oriental World in a Modern Novel" discusses the interplay of Eastern and Western traditions, the status of women, their role and struggle against injustice, disenfranchisement, the topic of historical East-West culture and the issue of confrontation.

Abstract:

Typological analogies are often revealed in fiction texts that are created in different cultural-geographic areas. This fact can be accounted for not only by similar fundamental changes in political and economic-cultural spheres, but by many other reasons as well. Such analogies are particularly frequently revealed through the usage of the method of magical realism. The present research analyzes such analogies. For this purpose, it compares a novel by Peruvian Nobel Prize Winner, Mario Vargas Llosa, Lituma en los Andes (Death in the Andes) (1993), with the novel by a renowned Georgian writer Otar Chiladze, A Man Was Going Down the Road (1973). These two novels have a noteworthy common passage, i. e. semi-real and semi-mystical location, dining-room: in Otar Chiladze’s novel it is an underground cellar of Bakha (Bacchus), in Mario Vargas Llosa’s novel it is a village dining-hall of Dionysius. Bakha / Bacchus and Dionysius are the prototypes of Ancient Greek god of wine, Dyonisus. However, they reveal a significant difference: Bakha’s (Bacchus’) tavern is an aesthetic relaxing place bearing mythical symbols. As for the dining hall of Dionysius, it is a place of worldly passions and drunkenness, deprived of any sacred features. One more noteworthy identical detail is the cult of the Moon. In the novel A Man Was Going Down the Road, the High Priestess of the Moon is a woman, the sister of King Ayet, Kamar, who appoints her niece, Medea, as her successor. In the novel by Mario Vargas Llosa, the wife of Dionysius, Donna Adrianna (Ariadne), tells the detective Lituma about the worshipping ritual of the cult of the Moon. And she believes that through this ritual of sacrifice, the ancient dwellers of the Andes attained peaceful and happy life. The research is based on semiotic, hermeneutic and comparative me-thods of analysis. Certain function-bearing signs, symbols, codes and struc-tures in fiction have been decoded and interpreted. In addition, comparative analysis has revealed typological nature of the mentioned analogies in the discussed novels.

The article represents the significant role of reading American literature at the class of English in universities. Discussion has put forward several positive sides of reading novels and short stories while learning any foreign language. Notable examples of these kinds of challenges include inadequate comprehension of lexical and phraseological units, trouble grasping grammatical structures, etc. The above-mentioned challenges might be resolved by developing deeper vocabulary, phraseology, and grammar understanding in group or individual classes. But even a deep degree of expertise will not be sufficient to fully comprehend the original works because writers frequently employ dialects and unique forms of English, such Black English, inaddition to the conventional language used in fiction.

Full text

Abstract:

The above-mentioned article reviews unconscious motifs and gender trouble in Djuna Barnes’ novel Nightwood. American modernist writer, a member of minorities due to her sexual orientation, had always been considered as an eccentric and audacious person in Parisian society. The characters of Nightwood have to fight against their unconscious that is presented not only as the event of specific period of mankind but the problem existing from ancient times to modern life. Djuna Barnes shed light on topics and issues that had rarely been discussed publicly, including non-traditional sexual orientation, the characters’ search for status as members of society, and a permanent conflict between conscious and unconscious. These topics are presented within a fictional setting, whereas great importance is attributed to the symbolism of decoration together with the appearance of the characters and each of their gestures. Through the above-mentioned devices, the novel creates a sense of spaciousness and despite presenting one specific epoch, it does not belong to any given period of time because it can be associated with the Elizabethan tragedy as well as with king James’s epoch. In the article I do analyze the sexual experiences and unconscious desires of Robin Vote, Matthew O’Connor, Nora Flood and Jenny Petherbridge. Robin represents the troubled nature of an animal and child with bisexual desires. Matthew O’Connor is the mythological Tiresias who appears in the novel as a hermaphrodite Parisian gynecologist. Nora Flood and Jenny Petherbridge present lesbian characters with childhood traumas.

Full text

Abstract:

Modern cultivated varieties carry only a small fraction of the variation present in the gene pool. The narrow genetic basis of modern crop plants is a result of genetic bottlenecks imposed during early domestication and modern plant breeding. The wild ancestors of most crop plants can still be found in their natural habitats and Germplasm Centers have been established to collect and maintain this material. These wild and unadapted resources can potentially fuel crop plant improvement efforts for many years into the future (Tanksley and McCouch 1997). Unfortunately, scientists have been unable to exploit the majority of the genetic potential warehoused in germplasm repositories. This is especially true as regards to the improvement of quantitative traits like yield and quality. One of the major problems is that much of the wild germplasm is inferior to modern cultivars for many of the quantitative traits that breeders would like to improve. Our research, focusing on the tomato as a model system, has shown that despite their inferior phenotypes, wild species are likely to contain QTLs that can substantially increase the yield and quality of elite cultivars (de Vicente and Tanksley 1992, Eshed and Zamir 1994, Eshed et al. 1996). Using novel population structures of introgression lines (ILs; Eshed and Zamir 1995) and advanced backcross lines (AB; Tanksley et al. 1996) we identified and introduced valuable QTLs from unadapted germplasm into elite processing tomato varieties. Populations involving crosses with five Lycopersicon species (L. pennellii (Eshed and Zamir 1994; Eshed et al. 1996; Eshed and Zamir 1996), L. hirsutum (Bernacchi et al. 1998), L. pimpinellifolium (Tanksley et al. 1996), L. parviflorum (unpub.), L. peruvianum (Fulton et al. 1997) have been field and laboratory tested in a number of locations around the world. QTLs from the wild parent were identified that improve one or more of the key quantitative traits for processing tomatoes (yield, brix, sugar and acid composition and earliness) by as much as 10-30%. Nearly isogenic lines (QTL-NILs) have been generated for a subset of these QTLs. Each QTL-NIL contains the entire genome of the elite cultivated parent except for a segment (5-40 cM) of the wild species genome corresponding to a specific QTL. The genetic material and information that was developed in this program is presently used by American and Israeli seed companies for the breeding of superior varieties. We expect that in the next few years these varieties will make a difference in the marketplace.

Abstract:

We develop a novel pricing strategy that approximates the value of an American option with exotic features through a portfolio of European options with different maturities. Among our findings, we show that: (i) our model is numerically robust in pricing plain vanilla American options; (ii) the model matches observed bids and premiums of multidimensional options that integrate Ratchet, Asian, and Barrier characteristics; and (iii) our closed-form approximation allows for an analytical solution of the option’s greeks, which characterize the sensitivity to various risk factors. Finally, we highlight that our estimation requires less than 1% of the computational time compared to other standard methods, such as Monte Carlo simulations.

Abstract:

Global economic models with explicit treatment of global land markets are crucial to understanding the consequences of different policy choices on global food and environmental security. However, these models rely on parameters for which there is little econometric evidence. A fundamental parameter in these models is the land supply elasticity. We provide a novel set of land supply elasticities estimated using gridded data for the American continent, and we use them in exploring previous work on the indirect land-use effects of US ethanol policy. Our estimates provide a basis for better-informed simulations of global land-use transitions under different economic and policy scenarios. JEL Codes: Q24, C21, C68

Full text

Abstract:

Fiscal sustainability in five of the largest Latin American economies is examined before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. For this purpose, the DSGE model in Bi(2012) and Hürtgen (2020) is used to estimate the Fiscal Limits and Fiscal Spaces for Peru, Chile, Mexico, Colombia, and Brazil. These estimates advance the empirical literature for Latin America on fiscal sustainability by offering new calculations stemming from a structural framework with alluring novel features: government default on the intensive margin; dynamic Laffer curves; utility-based stochastic discount factor; and a Markov-Switching process for public transfers with an explosive regime. The most notable additions to the existing literature for Latin America are the estimations of entire distributions of public debt limits for various default probabilities and that said limits critically hinge on both current and future states. Results obtained indicate notorious contractions of Fiscal Spaces among all countries during the pandemic, but the sizes of these were very heterogeneous. Countries that in 2019 had positive spaces and got closer to negative spaces in 2020, have since seen deterioration of their sovereign debt ratings or outlooks. Colombia was the only country to lose its positive Fiscal Space and investment grade, thereby joining Brazil, the previously sole member of both groups

Full text

Abstract:

This paper takes seriously the recent claim made by Ethier [1998] that the "New Regionalism" reflects the success of the multilateral trading system, not its failure. In fact, the New Regionalism represents a qualitative departure of the old regionalism in several respects, in particular, its development has taken place in a very different international economic environment. Moreover, the traditional Vinerian paradigm is no longer the primary analytical framework for its evaluation. We use this novel approach to analyze the case of one of the most important experiences in regional integration, the formation of the "Mercado Común del Sur" (MERCOSUR). The paper carefully documents the main stylized facts of the development of MERCOSUR arguing that this makes this type of agreement a prime example of the New Regionalism. Then, using a simple Krugman trade model with tariff distortions we show the positive welfare effects on member and non-member countries of these types of agreements. Our conclusions are consistent with Ethier's paper, that is, regionalism can play a key role in expanding and preserving the liberal trade order.

Abstract:

Rapid population aging will drive a strong increase in the demand for long-term care services in Latin America and the Caribbean. To inform policy making, in this study we present novel estimates of the number of care dependent older persons in 26 countries of the region. For ten of these countries, estimates are based on existing survey data. For the remaining 16 countries, we use a statistical model to predict the prevalence of care dependence based on the relationship between this condition and age, sex and health status. We also forecast the number of care dependent older persons in the years 2035 and 2050. On average, we find that 14% of the over-65 population is care dependent in 2020, and this average prevalence is predicted to grow to 16% in 2050. Driven mostly by the increase in the size of the older population in the region, the number of care dependent older persons is expected to grow by a factor of three over the same period, from 8 million in 2020 to 23 million in 2050.

Abstract:

This report aims to aid governments in Latin America and the Caribbean in embracing the opportunities public sector data utilization and artificial intelligence (AI) deployment can provide in achieving a circular economy model and the UNs Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). For such purpose, the report provides a novel concept of sharing data between key players that we have named data cross-pollination. Drawing on this concept, it considers four SDGs, i.e., energy, sustainable food systems, reducing pollution, and smart cities. Building on case studies and initiatives, the report highlights the main challenges and opportunities of utilizing data to achieve a circular economy model and sustainable development. It also looks into the potential of AI to enrich such data cross-pollination and focuses on potential applications of AI in circular innovation that can be transposed in the public sector.

Abstract:

Inspired by the encyclical Laudato Si', by Pope Francis, Nobel prizes and world experts pose concrete options for advancing in a regional eco-integration where social and environmental dimension of development are priorities. The commitments made to mitigate climate change at the Paris and Marrakesh summits require the cooperation of different nations in a joint effort to counteract global warming. Latin America has an enormous natural wealth that represents an opportunity, but also a great responsibility: to protect the planet and at the same time find ways to reduce the inequities that characterize the region. The new edition of IDB-INTAL Integration & Trade Journal offers creative measures, analyzes the governance challenges offered by the current scenario, describes sustainable models of trade, examines the impact of climate change and draws bridges to advance in an integral ecology where humanism became the engine of civilization.

Abstract:

Lean burning large bore natural gas two-stroke engines have remained critical components of the North American natural gas pipeline ecosystem for decades and will continue to persist as vital means of natural gas transportation well into the coming years. As increasing lean ignition limits are explored, Pre-Combustion Chambers (PCCs) serve as pathway to increased stability and repeatability of combustion as well as substantial engine emissions reduction. This study aims to further research the interaction between PCCs and the main combustion chamber (MCC) by investigating the sensitivity of in-cylinder mixing to changes in the geometry of intake manifolds and port design. A CFD model of a Cooper Ajax E-565 large bore lean burn two-stroke was used for this study. Several novel intake manifold designs were created to promote distinct flow characteristics and examined extensively for overall air flow results, mixing quality, general cycle performance, impact on residual methane, and impact on NOx production.

Full text

Abstract:

Climate change impact assessment is critical for creating adequate climate change mitigation and adaptation policies and plans. Critical infrastructure systems (e.g., water and energy systems) are particularly at risk for climate change impacts. In fact, a better understanding of climate change impacts on the water and energy systems would facilitate the fulfillment of SDG2 (end hunger), SDG 6 (clean water and sanitation), SDG 7 (affordable and clean energy), SDG 11 (sustainable cities and communities), and SDG 13 (climate action), with many indirect benefits across many other areas. Nonetheless, conducting climate change impact assessment, particularly at the community-level, is not an easy task. Often, the impact assessment models require access to substantial computational resources to run the complex models, as well as the expertise to work with those models and interpret their results, which may not be possible for all communities. As such, there is a need to expand climate change impact assessment to include more accessible models that can handle high-resolution, local data that is of interest to communities. Here, we highlight how climate impact assessment studies can benefit from the power of artificial intelligence (AI). The report details the use of AI model to conduct a computationally efficient climate change impact assessment. This model is applied to a case study across the United States of America (U.S.) as an example to showcase the insights it generates in real-world applications. To demonstrate this process, the study will focus on the impacts on coupled water and electricity demand (e.g., the water-electricity demand nexus). To conduct the impact assessment, the report demonstrates two different means of collecting future climate data—Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 5 (CMIP5) Earth System Models (ESMs) and contemporary climate analogs. Our results show significant increases across the Midwestern U.S. when using ESM-derived data. Similar results were found through the climate analog-derived data, suggesting that the analogs can be used successfully as proxies for traditional ESM data in communities that might not have access to the larger CMIP suite of models. Understanding the impacts of climate change on critical infrastructure is important for building sustainable and equitable policies for climate change mitigation and adaptation. These infrastructure systems are often interconnected (e.g., the water-energy nexus) and managed by local entities. Thus, while climate change is a global problem requiring cooperation across countries and sectors, many solutions require local action. In this sense, the results presented here can be used to deepen our scientific understanding of climate change impacts on the water-energy nexus, as well as develop novel methodologies that integrate AI with traditional climate change impact assessment to better prepare local communities for the future.
