Hello Everyone 
,
I am pleased to announce the publication of my first paper as lead author, in the journal Environmental Research: Climate!
The review article is titled ‘Analysing the development of the climate, land, energy, and water systems (CLEWs) modelling framework: a state-of-the-art review’.

This study explores recent scientific developments in [CLEWs modelling, by systematically analysing 41 peer-reviewed studies published between 2020 and 2024. Notably, this research builds upon a previous study, Ramos (2021) which analysed the CLEWs literature from initial development of the framework, up until 2019. Significantly, this new study includes only peer-reviewed literature; so, for example, it does not include conference papers or policy briefs. This was done to highlight and assess the growing maturity of the CLEWs framework within peer-reviewed literature.
Some key statistics include:
Out of the 41 peer-reviewed studies, 29 were modelling-based and 12 were review-based.
The average of peer-reviewed papers, related to CLEWs, published per year, quadrupled in comparison to the previous study.
Out of the 29 studies that had a geographical focus, 42% were national, 28% were regional, and 10% were global, continental, or local, respectively.
Approximately 74% of studies published their data as open-access.
50% employed an open-source analytical tool, or tools, in combination with open-access data.
In terms of research, four areas of significance were outlined:
The connections between CLEWs and the sustainable development goals (SDGs).
How the CLEWs framework is linked to capacity development.
The critical interplay between energy and water systems.
The transformative potential for comprehensive system integration using the CLEWs modelling framework.
I do not want to give too much away, as there is a lot to be said from this study, so please read the paper! I would love to hear your thoughts and feedback, as our plan is to publish this type of study more regularly.

Enjoy, Kane.
