Definition of ESA
- ESA is a systematic process (a series of actions) designed to evaluate and document information regarding the potentials, capacities, and functions of natural systems and resources.
- Goal: Facilitate sustainable development planning and decision-making, proactively anticipating and managing adverse consequences of proposed undertakings.
- Scope of Analysis depends on the project's characteristics (nature, scale, and potential environmental impact)
- Examines potential environmental risks/impacts, project alternatives, methods to improve selection, siting, planning, design, and implementation to avoid, minimize, mitigate or compensate for adverse impacts.
- Includes processes to mitigate and manage impacts throughout project implementation
- IFC favors preventive over mitigatory/compensatory measures wherever possible (IFC, 1998)
ESA and Environment and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA)
- Environmental and Social impact assessment (ESIA) is a report/instrument to identify and assess potential environmental and social impacts of a proposed project.
- Evaluate alternatives, design mitigation, management, and monitoring measures.
- Projects/subprojects needing ESIA typically address issues not covered by regional/sectoral EA (World Bank, 1999).
- ESA is a tool for identifying, predicting, evaluating, and mitigating biophysical, social and other effects of proposed projects and physical activities prior to major decisions.
The US National Policy Act (NEPA) of 1970
- Purposes of the Act: Promote efforts to prevent/eliminate environmental and biospheric damage (Sec. 2)
- Introduces basic criteria consideration before making a decision
- Guidelines, procedures, and methodologies for impact analysis (e.g., matrix, checklists) developed, including public participation.
The United Nations Conference on the Human Environment (Stockholm, 1972)
- Created a common outlook and principles to preserve and enhance the human environment
- Foundation for global environmental governance, including human rights.
- Marked the beginning of dialogue between industrialized and developing countries regarding the link between economic growth, pollution (air, water, oceans) and human well-being.
- Recognized urgent need for global environmental protection.
One Major Outcome and Two Principles on Environment Assessment in the Stockholm Declaration
- United Nations Development Programme (UNEP) established to coordinate environmental initiatives and support developing nations.
- Principle 2: Safeguarding of the earth's natural resources (air, water, land, flora, fauna, natural ecosystems) for present and future generations.
- Principle 18: Applying science and technology to identify, avoid and control environmental risks to solve environmental problems for mankind’s common good.
Between 1980-1990: The European Union and the World Bank
- EU introduced Directive 85/337/EEC (EIA Directive) to establish environmental protection framework for various projects detailed in Annexes I and II with defined screening procedure.
- Directive amended multiple times(in 1997, 2003, 2009)
- In 1989, ESAs became standard requirements for World Bank financed projects.
The Brundtland Report on Sustainable Development
- Idea that environment and development are interlinked, not separate.
- Human development depends on the environment, and improved human well-being within the environmental context.
- Urging development to improve living conditions.
- Addresses the limitations that environmental factors place on development.
- Recognition that wealth redistribution, gender equality, and poverty reduction are crucially important in formulating environmental conservation strategies.
Definition and Concepts of Sustainable Development
- Development that meets present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs.
- Four key concepts:
- Overriding priority to the essential needs of the world's poor.
- Current environmental limits affecting ability to meet present and future needs.
- Intergenerational and intragenerational Equity.
- Handling both ecological and economic considerations simultaneously.
The United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (Rio, 1992)
- Principle 3: Meeting needs of present and future generations to achieve environmentally sound development.
- Principle 10: Participation in environmental issues involving all concerned citizens.
- Principle 17: Impact assessment where significant environmental impacts are probable.
- Principle 19: Introduce EIA as part of sustainable objectives (for appropriate States)
Provisions of EIA in Major International Conventions
- Specific articles in UN Conventions (Law of the Sea, Framework Convention on Climate Change, Convention to Combat Desertification) require assessing impacts of planned activities on the environment.
- Guidelines on minimizing adverse effects on economy, public health, and environment through project/policy measures.
- Focus on appropriate response to mitigate/adapt to environmental factors.
Significant Development as a Result of the Rio Conference
- World Bank reorganization established a central Vice Presidency for Sustainable Development.
- Increased focus on social development and development specialist roles.
- Redefined ESIA approach incorporating 10 Safeguard Policies.
- Improved project design, implementation, and operational procedures using a community consultation and public disclosure framework
Sustainable Development has Changed the World Bank Environmental Policies
- Shifting from assessment to broader environmental and social safeguards.
- Moving from mitigation of environmental issues to mitigation of environmental and social risks.
- Shifting to a code of practice to improve project designs.
- Focusing on client performance and capacity building for implementing safeguard policies.
The New Concepts of Environment and Social Sustainability
- Integration of environmental, social, and economic analyses.
The Earth Summit of 2000 (Millennium Declaration)
- Commits international leaders to combatting global issues.
- Sets targets for 2015 in eight areas relating to health.

- Target 7A: Integrating sustainable development principles into country policies and programs to reverse environmental resource loss.
- ESIA is a tool for Sustainable Development Integration in country policies/programs.
- Strategic Environmental Assessment is a process for examining/evaluating policies, plans, and programs.
Respective Roles of the ESA and SESA
- Clarifies roles and responsibilities based on policy, plan, program, and project levels with an emphasis on stakeholder involvement in decisions.

Promoting a Harmonized Approach to Environmental Assessments
- Donors have made progress in harmonizing around EIA, including health and social issues on addressing the implications of the loss of biodiversity.
- Working towards common procedures, strategies and policy capacities for environmental analysis among projects, sectors and countries.
- Leverage existing country systems to the greatest extent, adapting/implementing additional safeguards wherever necessary.
Third High Level Forum Accra Agenda for Action (AAA)
