Comments on the World Bank’s Second Draft Environmental and Social Framework
The Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) provides a set of recommendations to the World Bank regarding the Second Draft of its Environmental and Social Framework (ESF). CIEL expresses concern over a shift from compliance-based standards to 'adaptive risk management,' arguing that this reduces the Bank's accountability and may jeopardize the rights of project-affected communities. The document outlines specific improvements needed in areas such as human rights commitments, chemicals management, climate change quantification, and the effectiveness of grievance mechanisms.
