Project Description
IFC aims to provide support to ContourGlobal Hydro Cascade CJSC in carrying out comprehensive climate risk and gender assessments and adaptation plan to improve operational performance and resilience of Vorotan hydropower cascade. The objective of the upstream engagement is to help the Company to undertake a detailed assessment of climate change risks (physical and social), provide recommendations on climate resilience interventions that could enhance the Projects’ performance and reduce community and environment vulnerabilities to climate hazards, while avoiding maladaptation for the communities and environment, and build capacity in climate change risk management planning in a gender-inclusive way.
