Dam construction is mostly aimed for multiple functions, including irrigation water provision, hydropower, and some others that bring substantial social benefits. However, global warming impacts on the interaction of the positive outcomes of damming remain little known, particularly in terms of the sustainability of their co-benefits, whereby investigating the different impacts of global warming scenarios of 1.5 °C and 2 °C has been a hotspot in water resources and energy research worldwide. This study used an integrative analysis based on a hydrological, techno-economic and agricultural modeling framework to evaluate the effects of global warming scenarios of 1.5 °C and 2 °C on the co-benefits between hydropower and irrigation in the Mekong River basin. The results show the declined hydropower generation and irrigation water supply in the Mekong River basin under 1.5 °C and 2 °C warming scenarios. The co-benefits between the hydropower and the irrigation is more undermined by the global warming of 2 °C relative to 1.5 °C in the Mekong River basin. Moreover, the changes of co-benefits are sensitive to the consideration of the protected areas in the basin. With the consideration of the protected areas, the co-benefits would be enhanced by 2 °C global warming compared to 1.5 °C global warming. Therefore, it is critical for decision-makers to consider the tradeoffs between the environment and dam construction for ensuring energy and food security under global warming scenarios.

There remain considerable controversies over payments for ecosystem services (PES) as an essential approach to improving ecosystem services. This study reviewed various definitions of PES and explored its economic nature; then explored previous methods for estimating the PES standard and finally proposed possible agendas for future PES research. Results suggested the PES and traditional land rent both originate from the monopoly of the providers on use rights of land vital to provision of certain ecosystem services, therefore PES should be redefined as a special kind of land rent for sharing land use rights of the providers to guarantee sustainable provision of certain ecosystem services. Besides, there has been no universal methods for estimating the rational PES standard due to insufficient understanding of the economic cause and nature of the PES. Re-imagining and re-designing PES as a system of land rights is advantageous to clearing up misunderstanding and disputes over the economic cause and nature of PES and overcoming limitations of existing methods for estimating the PES standard. Additionally, it is necessary to further improve the PES schemes based on cost-efficiency and explore the methods for estimating the PES standard based on the land rent theory and interdisciplinary knowledge.
