- Risks and impacts cover diverse areas affecting people and the environment
- MDBs (Multilateral Development Banks) have a greater focus on harmonizing environmental and social safeguards policies
- New safer standards require environmental and social assessment of all projects
- World Bank Safeguard policies are adopted to address sustainability issues and ensure that projects have a minimum impact
- Safeguard Policies aim to ensure that projects do not harm the environment and communities
- The objective of the Operational Safeguards (OSs) is to establish environmental and social requirements
