World Bank approaches to the environment in Brazil : a review of selected projects
UMA Engineering Ltd., Calgary, Canada | AGRA Earth & Environmental, Calgary, Canada
This study examines how the Bank approached environmental concerns in several large projects in Brazil, so as to draw lessons for future Bank operations involving environmental protection, assessment, and management for the guidelines and procedures that shape these activities. The study also illustrates the evolution of environmental awareness both in the Bank and Brazil, and the growing integration of environmental concerns into Bank-assisted projects over the past two decades. The report focuses on three case studies; the Sao Paulo and the Sao Francisco Valley, Amazonia, and the POLONOROESTE program (Northwest Integrated Development Program). These case studies are examined by human, physical, and social environmental impacts and the report describes how these impacts effect the entire region. Based on these case studies the report evaluates the Bank's performance and also offers lessons and recommendations for future Bank operations.
