    Study Notes

    Community Health and Safety

    • ESS4 recognizes that project activities, equipment, and infrastructure can increase community exposure to risks and impacts. Communities already affected by climate change may experience intensified impacts due to projects, requiring mitigation measures for existing and projected risks, factoring in climate change impacts and vulnerabilities. Projects should consider impacts on water resources and sources. Project activities should consider potentially increased community exposure to risks and impacts, factoring in any climate-related hazards.
    • ESS4 addresses health, safety, and security risks and impacts on affected communities, with particular attention to vulnerable populations. Borrowers are responsible for mitigating these risks, using a risk management approach and associated risk mitigation strategies, including proactive measures for mitigating emerging risks related to climate change, using a tiered risk assessment approach and prioritizing risks accordingly. The project will implement measures to anticipate and avoid adverse impacts on health and safety of affected communities during project lifecycle (routine and non-routine circumstances), accounting for climate change impacts.
    • Objectives: Anticipate and avoid adverse health and safety impacts on communities during project lifecycles (routine and non-routine circumstances), accounting for climate change impacts. Promote quality and safety in infrastructure design and construction, including dams. Avoid or minimize community exposure to project-related traffic, diseases, and hazardous materials. Develop emergency response measures, including pre-emptive actions. Ensure personnel and property safeguarding to minimize community risks, and incorporate mitigation for foreseeable stressors. Assess potential impacts on ecosystem services. Consider any existing or potential project-related hazards to water sources (this may require extra mitigation planning and strategies). Identify and address any existing safety issues to prioritize risk mitigation and response planning, including lessons learned. Ensure that all risks to vulnerable populations are addressed with specific, targeted measures, factoring in climate change impacts and vulnerabilities. Specific attention to any potential waterborne, water-based, water-related, and vector-borne diseases, and communicable diseases that may increase within impacted communities should be included as a priority in the risk mitigation and response planning, with specific consideration for vulnerable groups. Identify and evaluate potential water-borne, water-based, water-related, and vector-borne diseases and communicable diseases increasing within impacted communities, prioritizing risk reduction for vulnerable groups. Evaluate the potential for climate change exacerbating these issues. This includes proactive plans for maintaining and responding to extreme weather events, such as floods. Plans for specific communities and vulnerable populations, accounting for climate vulnerabilities, should be developed. Detailed assessment and mitigation measures should be tailored to each identified, affected community, factoring in social, economic, and geographic vulnerability analyses. Thorough assessment and monitoring of any existing risk factors or previous incidents associated with the project are required. Any lessons learned or identified deficiencies associated with prior incidents must be addressed proactively. This includes evaluation of traffic and road safety factors related to climate change impacts, and consideration of the emergency response plan to those most at risk in affected areas. Assessment of traffic trends factoring climate change impacts and vulnerabilities are needed. Specific measures for mitigating risks related to existing and projected climate change impacts, including proactive planning, should be developed for each community, including provision of emergency services and support. Project impacts on ecosystem services are to be proactively identified—this includes potentially adverse impacts (such as loss of ecosystem services, changes affecting water quality, and contamination) to impacted communities and ecosystems and include ecosystem vulnerability assessments. The project must consider all ecosystem services affected to include comprehensive vulnerability assessments detailing specific methodologies and impact assessments for the identified ecosystem services, considering all climate-related hazards and vulnerabilities, and including all project lifecycle stages.
    • Safety of Services: Implement quality management systems to minimize health and safety risks related to services provided to communities, and apply universal access where feasible.

    Scope of Application

    • This ESS (ESS4) is applicable based on the environmental and social assessment (described in ESS1), using a tiered method to prioritize risk assessment based on potential and actual impacts, accounting for climate change impacts on communities and vulnerabilities, based on a risk matrix.
    • The ESS addresses potential risks and impacts on communities affected by project activities, incorporating vulnerability assessments tailored for specific communities, including those potentially exposed to climate hazards, considering population demographics, socioeconomic factors, and existing infrastructure. This assessment should include detailed vulnerability analyses specific to specific communities or groups, potentially exposed to climate hazards.
    • Occupational health and safety (OHS) for project workers is addressed in ESS2. Measures to mitigate environmental impacts due to pollution are in ESS3. This scope includes ecosystem services, considering vulnerability to environmental stressors, and incorporates specific vulnerability assessments tailored to specific locations and communities. Risk assessment includes consideration of impacts from climate change, and thorough evaluation of ecosystem services, incorporating climate-related hazards and vulnerability assessments. Detailed risk assessments account for each tier of impact classification, including climate change impacts. This scope considers climate change impacts and identifies vulnerabilities. The scope of project applicability covers all project development stages—design, construction, operation, and decommissioning. Ensuring the entire project lifecycle is assessed for potential, existing, and predicted climate events and impacts on ecosystem services and communities, including preventative and reactive measures for all project lifecycle stages.

    Community Health and Safety Requirements

    • The Borrower will evaluate project risks and impacts on all affected community members, including vulnerable populations; an exhaustive risk assessment specifically for vulnerable populations should be included, including detailed climate change vulnerability assessments specific to certain locations. This includes risk assessments for specific social and economic groups, including consideration for vulnerable populations in terms of access to water and sanitation.
    • Risks and impacts will be mitigated in accordance with established mitigation hierarchies; mitigation plans should address specific risks for each community. Risk mitigation plans should be tailored to each community, accounting for climate change impacts, encompassing all project stages (e.g. design, construction, operation, decommissioning).
    • Infrastructure and equipment design and safety: Project elements will be designed and constructed following national and EHSG requirements and taking into consideration safety for third parties and affected communities. Comprehensive and updated risk assessments will be carried out, including preventative measures to mitigate or avoid any known or projected future risks. Competent professionals will ensure structural integrity and meet safety approvals, accounting for climate-related vulnerabilities.
    • Where new, publicly accessible buildings are involved, the Borrower will consider the incremental risks of public access to operational accidents and extreme weather (including all climate-related hazards), and implement appropriate mitigation measures, accounting for potential impacts of climate trends and vulnerabilities. Universal access, where feasible, will be applied with specific considerations for vulnerable populations. Accessibility provisions must be incorporated into the emergency response plans, factoring in existing climate-related vulnerabilities and associated hazards.
    • In high-risk locations, with potentially life-threatening vulnerabilities; the use of independent experts will be employed for a review during project development (design, construction, operation, and decommissioning), including consideration for external reviews from reputable organizations, particularly any critical safety gaps. Safety of dams, per Annex 1, must be observed for projects involving a dam (new or existing). The review will consider climate change impacts (e.g., flooding, seismic events), including a comprehensive assessment of the dam's entire lifecycle, potential climate-related events—including flood control—and vulnerabilities. Safety reviews will cover all phases of the project and the dam's lifecycle—including maintenance. This review will also consider all climate-related hazards – including seismic activity and structural issues – with specific considerations made for particular locations, communities, and vulnerable demographics. Comprehensive assessments of impacts on ecosystem services included, with preventative and mitigation plans detailed for communities and vulnerable populations. Existing risk factors and previous incidents, including details of any associated lessons learned about prior impacts, must be addressed proactively, including identified systemic or other risk issues. Specific attention to and consideration for vulnerable populations will be given, including specific consideration for measures to support potentially disproportionately affected groups or communities.
    • Ecosystem services: Project impacts on ecosystem services (such as water provisioning and flood control) may result in adverse health and safety risks, requiring mitigation measures. Ensure the impact and associated vulnerability of these services is assessed and appropriate mitigation implemented. Project considerations must include all ecosystem services (provisioning, regulating) potentially affected. Specific methods for assessing vulnerabilities and impacts on ecosystem services, detailing the specific methodology used, must be included in the documents related to this project. Project considerations must include any ecosystem services (provisioning, regulating) that may be affected. Project impacts on ecosystem services may be exacerbated by climate change. Specific risk mitigation measures for each identified community or affected group will be documented, including emergency services and support. Project-related ecosystem service impacts— including loss of service, changes in water quality, and contamination— will be documented, considering potential climate-related hazards in the project's entire lifecycle, including emergency response. Emergency response plans and specific community actions for each identified ecosystem impact will be included in project planning and implementation.
