Titled “Unplugged: Climate Change, Free Flowing Rivers, and the Politics of Dam Removal,” Jason traces how a movement to bring down dams and other diversions on large rivers around the globe is accelerating (60% of the world’s major rivers have already been significantly fragmented and plans for major new dams are in the works, particularly in Africa and SE Asia).
