Title [en]
DAMMED: Security, Risk and Resilience around the Dams in Sub Arctica
Abstract [sv]
Hydropower is often promoted as an environmentally friendly and renewable energy resource in the current debates on climate change. Yet, it is since long established that this energy source indeed has negative impacts on the (local) environment and local inhabitants. At the same time it is an ageing technology, which currently confronts climate change with the result that it is a carrier of number of threats against human security and sustainable development. The overall aim of this supradisciplinary and gender research project is to analyze the sociotechnical aspects of security, safety and risk in regard to large dams through the integrated lenses of four scientific disciplines: history of science and technology; political science; gender, technology and organization and land and water resource management. Drawing primarily on qualitative research and a collaborative approach with local and regional stakeholders in the north of Sweden as well as national authorities and organizations, the project aim to search for fundamental disjunctures between generic concerns and the possibility to form an adaptive capacity to manage risk, ensure human security and sustainable development.
