Panama Environmental and Social Safeguards Issues Paper: Upstreaming Environmental and Social Risk Management
This discussion paper starts with a brief summary of several important existing Bank-supported environment-related interventions. It is followed by a review of pending issues associated with some of these initiatives, specifically those associated with possible new Bank-financed infrastructure projects, particularly in Darien and Chiriquí, which are likely to involve potentially significant social and environmental impacts, and associated broader environment-related challenges that will merit future Bank consideration and support. The paper concludes with specific recommendations for the new country strategy.
