!! NEW !! Webinar #2 just released - 07 May 2025

 

 

This second Webinar is intended to introduce the general principles of a Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment (LCSA) methodology. The LCSA comprises not only environmental LCA, but also social and economic life cycle cost assessment. ICOLD has invited a distinguished group of experts to present the key components of the LCSA and examples of how it is applied in other sectors, with the aim of adapting it to dams and reservoirs.

 

The webinar features the following presentations:

  • Webinar presentation - Luc Deroo & Francisco Ortega (TC-T of ICOLD)
  • General introduction to LCSA with a focus on dam-specific aspects - Sonia Valdivia (World Resources Forum)
  • Sustainability criteria from the perspective of funding institutions - Nicholas Zmijewski (World Bank)
  • Tools and methods of the Hydropower Sustainability Standard (HSS) that are applicable to dams and reservoirs - Kimberly Lyon (World Bank / HSA Council Chair)
  • Sustainability framework for earthworks - Jean-Pierre Magnan (EU Working Group on Sustainable Earthworks)
  • Life cycle cost assessment of dams - Alena Raymond (AmSpec)
  • Biodiversity footprint and LCA: Case studies and analyses - Bonaventure Fontanier (EDF)
  • Social Life Cycle Assessment (S-LCA): An example from the mining sector - Isabel Wolf (Technical University of Berlin)
