- Protect people and the environment from adverse impacts

- Categorizes the policies into Environmental, Social and Legal
OP 4.01 - Environmental Assessment
- Objective: To ensure viability and sustainability of social and environmental investment projects, integrating environmental and social aspects in decision-making.
- Requirements: Projects need screening for potential impacts, with appropriate approaches selected to assess, minimize, and mitigate adverse impacts. Affected groups and NGOs are consulted early in the process.
- Trigger: OP4.01 is activated when a project is likely to have adverse environmental risks in its area of influence.
- Solution: A framework for environmental and social management, impact assessments, and plans are prepared.
OP 4.04 - Natural Habitats
- Promote sustainable development through protection, conservation, maintenance, and rehabilitation of natural habitats and their primary functions.
OP 4.09 - Pest Management
- Minimize and manage risks and environmental and health impacts associated with pesticides. Promote effective management, security, of the environmental and pesticides.
OP 4.10 - Indigenous Peoples

Public Consultation
- Mandated by environmental assessment, involuntary resettlement, and indigenous peoples policies.
- Promotes two-way process where beneficiaries provide advice and input on projects.
- Encourages dialogue between governments, communities, NGOs, and implementing agencies.
Safeguards Range of Application
- Apply to investment lending, social funds, financial and intermediary operations, carbon finance, emergency recovery/post-conflict, global environmental facility, trust fund operations, technical assistance, and development policies lending, program for results.
Things to Know About the Operations of the Policies
- Understand each policy's objectives and triggers
- Mechanisms for achieving objectives and related process aspects, including instruments, timing, consultation, and disclosure requirements
- Translations are needed where relevant.
OP 4.01 Categories
- A: Significant adverse impacts that are sensitive, diverse, or unprecedented, affecting a broad area.
- B: Potential adverse impacts that are less substantial and site-specific, mostly reversible.
- C: Minimal or no adverse impacts; no further action required.
