Going global: the 2021 World Hydropower Congress

摘要

THOUSANDS HAVE REGISTERED FOR the 2021 World Hydropower Congress, which has now gone fully virtual. What was previously a three-day event hosted in cities such as Paris, Addis Ababa and Beijing, is now online, three weeks-long, free and available to all. Taking place from 7-24 September, the event organised by the International Hydropower Association (IHA) will showcase how sustainable hydropower is part of the solution to climate change. Across more than 30 events, decision-makers, innovators and experts will set out how investment is urgently needed to build the smart, resilient, clean energy infrastructure of the future. "With the World Hydropower Congress, we are sending a clear message that sustainable hydropower will play a pivotal role in decarbonising the economy, providing jobs and long-lasting infrastructure," said Eddie Rich, CEO of IHA.
