A Chinese Hydropower Scorecard Does Not Fill the Accountability Gap
September 23rd, 2011 | by Zachary Hurwitz
The International Hydropower Association launched its non-binding sustainability guidelines scorecard in Beijing today, hoping to attract Chinese dam builders to what is turning out to be the world's latest industry-led greenwash.

The HSAP makes no requirement of developers to comply with national and international legislation
