Abstract

International Rivers’ benchmarking report details how the social and environmental policies of recent actors in the global hydropower industry compare with international best practice. Starting with the Chinese overseas hydropower industry in the first stage of this global project, our efforts have garnered significant interest from environmental groups around the world, the hydropower industry and governmental actors. Part A covers the methodology and overall findings and analysis. The report can be accessed in Chinese language through the URL link below. Part B provides details of the findings by each of the seven Chinese hydropower companies examined, and can also be accessed through the URL link.
