"Contested Futures in the Mekong Region" seminar, 9 June 2014, Helsinki

26.05.2014

Mekong Region is a scene for one of the most intensive hydropower development globally. New sustainability standards for dams have become an important source of justification for the new projects but they remain highly contested. Mekong has been one of the focus regions for Finnish development cooperation. Finland has supported for example the Mekong River Commission and the Asian Development Bank. Also Finnish companies, such as Pöyry, have had an important role in the region’s hydropower development.
