*[Enwl-eng] Fwd: “The False Promises of Hydropower: How dams fail to deliver the Paris Climate Agreement and the UN Sustainable Development Goals”

[ENWLine]

 

Dear Friends:

 

We are pleased to invite your organization to sign a joint statement of civil society organizations, entitled “The False Promises of Hydropower:  How dams fail to deliver the Paris Climate Agreement and the UN Sustainable Development Goals”  (attached)

Sign on here

 

This statement will be launched during a world congress of large corporate actors in the dam industry, convened in Paris during May 14-16^th by the International Hydropower Association, under the slogan “Delivering the Paris Climate Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals. https://congress.hydropower.org

 

The launching of the joint statement will be a part of actions organized by civil society organizations in Paris to question renewed attempts by the global dam industry to greenwash destructive dams, with an eye towards capturing financial incentives that should promote real solutions for addressing the climate crisis and promoting sustainable development.

 

These parallel activities will include the organization of a conference on May 13^th  in Paris to stimulate  an open public debate on hydroelectric dams, the climate crisis and sustainable development, to be followed by a street protest on the opening day of the dam industry’s global congress, when the petition will be publically delivered.

 

During our activities in Paris, special attention will be given to ensuring that voices of indigenous peoples and other movements of dam-affected peoples - normally excluded from decision-making circles and large events such as the World Hydropower Congress – will be effectively heard.

 

If your organization is interested in co-signing the attached joint declaration, please confirm by filling out the short form linked here

https://forms.gle/dRAM61vVXfh3xYFLA

 no later than Thursday, May 9^th, 2019.

SORRY FOR CROSS-POSTING

 

With best regards,

 

Eugene Simonov, Rivers without Boundaries International Coalition (RwB)

on behalf of Organizing Committee: International Rivers, Counter Current, Planete Amazon, AIDA Americas, RwB.
