Rio Workshop
In December 2019, IEA Hydro's Annex IX and XII held a joint workshop in Rio on "Hydropower Services and Climate Change: Adaptation, Resilience and Valuation of Climate Change Services".
Joint organisers, Atle Harbe (SINTEF, Norway) and Jorge Damazio (CEPEL, Brazil) have issued a communiqué from the workshop explaining briefly the background, the key topics discussed and the future needs for research and the way forward. They encourage distribution of the communiqué to anyone interested in this subject.

HYDRO 2019
In October 2019, a White Paper, Flexible hydropower providing value to renewable energy markets was launched at Hydro 2019 in Porto, Portugal, The White Paper describes the role of hydropower and the need for flexibility in the future electricity system, aiming to provide a high-level overview of key issues with the intent of identifying priority areas for further in-depth reviews and analyses.

OTHER WORKSHOPS & CONFERENCE SESSIONS
February 2019 Annex Meeting, Japan
December 2018, Brussels. Phase II Kick-off meeting. The overall purpose of the Kick-Off workshop was to define the scope of research and the work plan to reach the Annex Objectives, as well as confirm the participants who will contribute to the Annex. Following presentations by the IEA and others on the work being undertaken on related topics covering valuing hydropower flexibility, a “gap analysis” was conducted to identify key research topics required to meet the Annex objectives that are not presently being covered. The workshop concluded with the development of a work plan and the participant’s contributions to the research.
