The side event will provide platform to present information and discuss the contribution of the hydropower development to the efforts of the international community to combat the effects of the climate change, particularly use of available hydropower potential for the generation of clean energy which could significantly reduce the greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere, use of reservoirs with seasonal and long-term regulation for ensuring water supply during periods of low water and drought and use of dams for reducing risks and harm of water related natural disasters to the health and life of the population, infrastructure and different sectors of the economy.
It’s expected that during the side event there will be exchange of views and ideas about creating more sustainable and resilient hydropower infrastructure using nexus approach in the context of the climate change. The side event is also aimed to develop recommendations, call for actions and encourage efforts towards achievement of the Climate Agenda.
