Environment Policy (2002)

ADB's Environment Policy comprises five main elements. Three of them are directly related to options assessment:

1. promoting environment and natural resource management interventions to reduce poverty directly
2. assisting DMCs to mainstream environmental considerations in economic growth
3. helping maintain global and regional life support systems that underpin future development prospects,
4. building partnerships to maximize the impact of ADB lending and nonlending activities,
5. integrating environmental considerations across all ADB operations.
