2023 was a momentous year for the International Hydropower Association (IHA) and its efforts to advance sustainable hydropower’s role in the energy transition. As Roger Gill handed the IHA Presidential reins to Malcolm Turnbull, this was a year that included the inaugural World Hydropower Outlook, the launch of the Hydropower Sustainability Alliance, the largest in-person World Hydropower Congress to date, and its representation at the Renewables Hub at COP28 (as part of the Global Renewables Alliance). There have been significant strides in lifting the voice of sustainable hydropower globally, along with the 20 new members that joined IHA this year, we need to continue to increase this voice and see more policy change and investment to meet net zero by 2050.
