There is a growing concern on a global scale that the world should transition towards the utilisation of energy-efficient technologies. Hydro-power plays a very significant part in the fight against climate change, and as a result, it lessens the impact that climate change will have on our ability to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Both the effectiveness of hydro-power generation and the amount of stream flow are impacted by climate change as well as land use and land cover (LULC). Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to conduct a literature review on the topic of the past and future effects of climate, land use, and land cover changes on hydro-power generation. This review will be based on the entries found in a number of reliable databases. A systematic literature review was carried out to analyse how LULC and climate change will affect hydro-power generation and development. The research was based on 158 pieces of relevant literature that had been reviewed by experts and indexed in Scopus, Google Scholar, and Science Direct.
