Save the Neretva! #StopUpperHorizons

Upper Horizons is a large, controversial hydropower project in eastern Herzegovina, with three planned hydropower plants: Nevesinje, Dabar and Bileća. Through dams, reservoirs, tunnels and canals, water from the Neretva basin would be diverted toward the Trebišnjica basin. As well as harming people and nature across Herzegovina, the project would increase salination in Croatia’s Neretva delta, undermining agriculture and local people’s livelihoods. It’s high time to stop this damaging project!

The Social Climate Navigator is an interactive digital tool which clarifies 16 key concepts closely associated with the Social Climate Fund. The Navigator offers more than definitions – it visually illustrates how the social and climate aspects of each concept are interconnected, demonstrating why they cannot be treated in isolation and why both are fundamental to achieving a just and effective green transition.
