On the World Fish Migration Day, 150 NGOs have come together to call on the EU institutions to end public financing for new hydropower projects in Europe. Building more hydropower flies in the face of the European Green Deal’s biodiversity goals, and EU can achieve climate neutrality by 2040 without reliance on new hydropower.
In this manifesto, along with CAN, WWF and many of our members, we ask for public investments to be redirected towards upgrades of existing plants, energy efficiency measures and lower-impact, renewable energy alternatives.
