WWF report calls for insurers to block high-impact hydropower projects

Nonprofit organisation the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) has released a comprehensive Insurers’ Guide to Hydropower, which calls for insurers to block high-impact hydropower projects, while offering advice on the assessment and management of the risks posed by hydropower to people, nature and the economy. The guide, which was released on June 21, outlines how insurers can help prevent thousands of planned high-impact hydropower projects in locations ranging from the Amazon to the Balkans to the Zambezi.
