The Hydropower Sustainability Assessment Forum (the Forum) is a collaboration of representatives from different sectors who aim to develop a broadly endorsed sustainability assessment tool to measure and guide performance in the hydropower sector.
The Forum’s work centres around the International Hydropower Association’s (IHA) Sustainability Assessment Protocol (2006). It is determining the relevant issues to be included in the assessment protocol and the measurement approach for each of these issues. The work plan involves input from experts on key hydropower sustainability themes, on-ground assessments of schemes, workshop sessions focused on the Protocol, and input from key stakeholder reference groups. The Forum seeks at all times to operate with transparency, good will and by consensus.
The governments of Germany, Iceland and Norway are the main sponsors of the Forum, with financial contributions also coming from IHA, The Nature Conservancy, WWF and the World Bank.
