So far, there have been seven CWW events since the inaugural meeting in Norway in 2011, followed by Sweden in 2013, Germany in 2015, Portugal in 2017, Scotland in 2019, the Netherlands in 2022 and Croatia in 2023.
Every other year, CWW brings together researchers, consultants, wildlife technology companies, wind energy developers, regulators, financers and other interested parties to work together and share knowledge on science-based solutions to ecological concerns regarding wind power development.
The conference promotes a collaborative approach to resolving key ecological issues facing developers, investors, conservationists, decision makers and the public.
It brings together researchers, conservation scientists, wind industry professionals, and NGO representatives from around the world to share their know-how and experiences and develop solutions to avoid, minimize, and mitigate the impacts of wind farms on wildlife, both onshore and offshore. It also looks into the opportunities to enhance nature when developing wind farms.
The 8th Conference on Wind energy and Wildlife impacts (CWW 2025) will take place in Montpellier, France, 8-12 September 2025.
