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

[ENWL]

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 14-16th 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 13th  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 9th, 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.
