On 11 June, the IFC Sustainability Webinar Preventing Bird Electrocution on Distribution Lines: From Risk to Good Practice brought together specialists from the World Bank Group, EBRD, CMS and the Raptors MOU.

The session mattered because it formally introduced a new IFC–EBRD Tip Sheet aimed at lenders, developers and utilities – translating years of field-level conservation work into practical guidance that can shape how power infrastructure is designed and financed going forward.

The scale of the issue, together with the Tip Sheet and further resources on prevention and mitigation, can be explored on our dedicated Bird Electrocution portal.
