ADB Environmental Assessment Guidelines
Environmental Categorization and Rapid Environmental Assessment ChecklistsEnvironmental CategorizationAll ADB projects are assigned one of four categories (A, B, C, or FI) for environmental assessment. The category is assigned based on the project's potential for environmental impact.
