A retrospective analysis of Laos’s Nam Theun 2 Dam

Pages 351-370 | Received 11 Sep 2019, Accepted 03 Oct 2019, Published online: 07 Nov 2019
 

ABSTRACT

I was appointed in 1997 at the start of the World Bank’s independent International Environmental and Social Panel of Experts for the Nam Theun 2 Dam. I made over 20 visits to Laos to carry out our analyses, before resigning in March 2014. This article concentrates on the Nakai Plateau resettlement and, where relevant, the dam’s Watershed Management and Protection Area, which included a large area between the future reservoir and the Vietnam border. It includes what I consider the main mistakes that were made during the resettlement process on the Nakai Plateau.
