Study Notes

Introduction to ESS5

  • ESS5 recognizes that project-related land acquisition and restrictions on land use can negatively impact communities and individuals.
  • This can lead to physical displacement (relocation, loss), economic displacement (loss of assets, income), or both.
  • Involuntary resettlement occurs when affected people or communities lack the right to reject land acquisition or restrictions.

Objectives of ESS5

  • Aim to prevent involuntary resettlement whenever possible.
  • Minimize any instances of involuntary resettlement through exploring alternative project designs.
  • Prevent forced evictions.
  • Mitigate the adverse effects of land acquisition or restrictions on land use by providing timely compensation for lost assets at market value.
