Résumé : |
The World Bank has been active in the field of environmental protection and in the last decade, has financed numerous projects containing environmental components as well as several free standing environmental projects, which have had environmental objectives such as reforestation, watershed management and pollution control. Through the introduction on new directives on environmental assessment, environmental action plans, forestry policy, the global environmental facility, resettlement, indigenous people and wildlands, the Bank has distinguished itself as a leader in environmental protection.
Despite the above efforts, it becomes clear that the Bank s response didn t match the changing realities in the degree of effort devoted to environmental matters or in the approaches actually used. This combined with a few well-publicised cases in which World bank projects had some negative environmental consequences - such as contributing to the destruction of tropical rain forests and posing threats to wildlife populations, indigenous people and established human settlments, prompted the Bank to rethink and adjust its policies toward environmental management. In its recent reorganisation, the Bank management decided to bring environmental concerns into the mainstream of its operation by establishing a Vice Presidency on Environmentally Sustainable Development. |
