Summary of Environmental and Social Aspects
Environmental Aspects The project is classified by ADB as Category B for environment. The project environmental safeguard assessments and documents comprise: (i) an initial environmental examination (IEE) including an environmental management plan (EMP). The IEE and EMP cover all project components except one, a Green Investment Fund (under output 3), which will be implemented by HTIC; and (ii) an ESMS, for safeguard management for the Green Investment Fund. The IEE, EMP and ESMS have been prepared in compliance with ADB's Safeguard Policy Statement (2009). For all project matters relating to environmental safeguards, the IEE, EMP and ESMS form the basis of the official loan agreement between ADB and the executing agency.
Involuntary Resettlement The project is classified as category B for involuntary resettlement. In total, the project involves 72.31 mu of permanent land occupation (4.63 mu state-owned land and 67.68 mu collective owned land), affecting 200 households with 830 persons. A total of 60 m2 of non-residential house will be affected, involving 1 household with 4 persons. No household will have significant impacts from permanent land acquisition or relocation. A total of 316.43 mu land will be used temporarily, including 219.39 mu state-owned land and 97.04 mu collective land.
Indigenous Peoples The project does not involve impacts on ethnic minority villages or communities that would trigger ADB's Safeguard Policy Statement requirements on indigenous peoples. There are only a few ethnic minority individuals living dispersedly in five counties among the seven project counties/districts. The scattered ethnic minority individuals in the project area are not expected to have differential impacts; and they will enjoy the project benefits as residents in the project area. Therefore, the project is classified as category C on indigenous peoples according to ADB's Safeguard Policy Statement (2009); and no action plan needs to be prepared for ESMS.
