| Summary: | The decision tree offers a cost
effective, scientifically sound, replicable, and transparent
method for demonstrating the robustness of a development
project in the face of the risks posed by climate change,
natural hazards, and other factors. The framework is most
effective when a wide range of risks must be considered, as
is typically the case with high-value hydropower
investments. In order to gain maximum benefit from the
framework, it should be conducted at both project and basin
scale, first to answer questions immediately relevant to
investors and then to provide perspective on alternative
investment portfolios that may yield greater returns. |
