During the past decades, we have:
Developed safeguard policies that set standards for the social and environmental performance of our projects.
Helped client countries develop National Environmental Action Plans and strengthen their environmental regulations. In Africa and elsewhere, NEAPs have been most successful when a range of stakeholders participated in their preparation.
Developed a portfolio of investments devoted to environmental issues, and started to "mainstream" environmental issues into sectoral lending programs. (See the chart below.)
Assumed a key role in dealing with threats to the global environmental commons, such as climate change, desertification, biodiversity loss, and degradation of international waters, especially as an implementing agency for the GEF and the Multilateral Fund for the implementation of the Montreal Protocol.
