Bolivia Environmental and Social Safeguards Issues Paper: Upstreaming Environmental and Social Risk Management
This paper summarizes environmental considerations that the Bank should take into account in preparing its new country strategy with Bolivia (2011-2015). Some of these are already contemplated to a certain extent in the existing strategy. Following this introductory section, which briefly describes some of the country's main environmentally relevant characteristics, the paper discusses Bolivia's principal environment-related issues and priorities in relation to economic growth and poverty reduction, additional concerns due to the likely future impact of climate change. The foremost concerns of the present paper, however, are issues specifically associated with environmentally and/or socially sensitive operations in the Bank's existing portfolio and likely future pipeline. The paper concludes with a brief discussion of several other general environment-related considerations, followed by a set of recommendations as to how these concerns can be integrated into the Bank's new strategy for 2011-2015 period.
