After approving the Rogun dam this week, the @WorldBank plans to fund the Inga dam in Congo next.

Excellent piece by @jacqules today on the World Bank's return to funding megadams and what's at stake.

World Bank must postpone decision on financing Rogun Dam in Tajikistan and assess alternatives https://t.co/anExMKRcPJ

[Josh Klemm @JoshKlemm]

The @WorldBank plans to approve billions tomorrow for the flawed Rogun megadam in Tajikistan. In addition to displacing up to 60,000+ people, the Bank would be ignoring the devastating downstream impacts in violation of its policies. #megadams

"Despite the fact that some dams emit more greenhouse gases than fossil fuel power plants, dams are being promoted as climate-friendly projects and development banks are again heavily investing in them."

1/ International Rivers expresses its concern & solidarity over the unfolding tragedy in #Brazil, where a partial #dam collapsed after heavy rain at the 14 de Julho hydroelectric plant, unleashing a wall of water. Over 30 people have died & dozens missing.

Under international humanitarian law, war crimes by one side do not justify war crimes by the other. The duty to spare civilians as much as possible the hazards of war is absolute, not contingent on the behavior of opponents. I explain in the @Guardian: https://t.co/lMYT58IdYL

Terrible news of another dam disaster, this time a brand new $1.5bn, 1200 MW dam on the Teesta in India. Dams and climate change don’t mix

[International Rivers @intlrivers]

🧵The Chungthang #dam has been destroyed as a result of a #GLOF upstream on the #Teesta River in #Sikkim. 14 people have died and over 100 people missing. Our thoughts are w/ our partners and those who have lost or are missing loved ones.

It seems that the Chungthang Dam (Teesta III Hydropower project) on the Teesta has been breached this morning.

Scary visuals floating around. Civilians and army personnel are missing. Lots of immediate assistance and long term re-thinking required. #Sikkim #Teesta #Rivers

“Because he spoke out, my husband is now serving 5 years in prison”

Many climate leaders that helped steer 🇻🇳 towards the net-zero policy, are now imprisoned -

Read this op-ed by Thao, wife of imprisoned Vietnamese #environmental lawyer Dang Dinh Bach.
