As the global energy landscape evolves, hydropower remains a cornerstone of the energy transition by providing renewable and flexible electricity generation and storage. Balancing economic efficiency, ecological integrity, and community benefits is more critical than ever. SUSHP2025 will bring together experts, researchers, policymakers, and industry leaders to explore solutions that advance ecologically sustainable hydropower, support biodiversity conservation, and address the governance challenges of sustainable development, particularly in developing regions.
The conference will focus on three key themes:
- Promoting an integrated approach in planning, operation and re-powering of hydropower plants that maximizes environmental and community benefits while ensuring economic and operational efficiency.
- Advancing innovations, adaptive management, and technologies by highlighting best practices, environmental measures, and cutting-edge technologies to assess hydropower impacts.
- Strengthening governance for global sustainability by exploring frameworks for sustainable hydropower development, with specific focus on policies and practices in developing countries.
