A Trojan Horse for Large Dams
Under the guise of an initiative to promote sustainable energy technologies, governments are about to grant subsidised export credits for hydropower projects.
This
report looks at the experience over the last ten years with dams financed with
official export credits. It finds that these projects have had massive social
and environmental impacts, including large-scale involuntary resettlement,
human rights abuses,
the loss of critical habitats of endangered species, and, in some cases,
greenhouse gas emissions greater than those from thermal power plants. If
the governments go ahead with their plan, they will turn an environmental
effort into a Trojan horse for environmental destruction.| Document | Size |
