The environmental and social context in the Latin American and Caribbean region has evolved since the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) safeguards policies were developed more than 15 years ago. The Environmental and Social Policy Framework modernises many of the requirements of those safeguards policies into a comprehensive and consolidated framework that better responds to the environmental and social challenges facing our countries: social inequality, climate change and the depletion of natural capital. In turn, the new Framework emerges as an opportunity to improve, update and harmonise environmental and social standards within the IDB group and with other multilateral organisations, so that the borrower must always abide by similar requirements.
The IDB offers several courses on the Environmental and Social Performance Standard (ESPS). These short training programmes will bring you closer to the essential knowledge of the ESPS, in particular they are offered:
• ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL PERFORMANCE STANDARD 2: LABOUR AND WORKING CONDITIONS (NDAS 2).
• ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL PERFORMANCE STANDARD 3: RESOURCE EFFICIENCY AND POLLUTION PREVENTION (NDAS 3)
• ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL PERFORMANCE STANDARD 4: DISASTER RISK (NDAS 4)
• ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL PERFORMANCE STANDARD 5: LAND ACQUISITION AND INVOLUNTARY RESETTLEMENT (NDAS 5)
• ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL PERFORMANCE STANDARD 6: BIODIVERSITY AND LIVING NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT (NDAS 6)
• ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL PERFORMANCE STANDARD 7: INDIGENOUS PEOPLES (NDAS 7)
• ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL PERFORMANCE STANDARD 9: GENDER EQUALITY (NDAS 9)
Through videos, tables, infographics and questionnaires, you will be able to recognise the critical path for environmental and social performance in each of these aspects.
Self-paced.
