Overview

This report is a summary of the publication "Mainstreaming the environment," which came three years after the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It documents how the World Bank has sought to be an active partner in implementing the "Rio imperatives." Just as the full report, this summary is divided into three parts: 1) progress in activities specifically targeted toward the environment, including analyses of the World Bank's growing loan portfolio of environmental projects and of the bank's role as an implementing agency of the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and of the Montreal protocol; 2) question about the way the bank's activities incorporate environmental concerns; and 3) report of the environmental programs of the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA). Finally, the document not only reports the good progress that has been made but also points out the areas that still need extra effort.
