Environmental Planning and Management and The Project Cycle (ADB Environmnet Paper No.1)

This paper is the first of a series to be published by the Asian Development Bank dealing with environmental and natural resources planning and management in the Asian and Pacific region and will cover such topics as environmental legislation and administration, sustainable development, environmental quality criteria and standards, and natural resources information systems. The aim of the series is to promote the integration of the environmental dimension into economic development activities and thereby encourage more sound development – what has come to be called “sustainable development”.

Environment Paper No.1 explains the mechanism by which environmental considerations are blended with the Bank’s processing and implementation of its development projects. It also describes the overall activities being undertaken by the Bank’s Office of the Environment, recent environmental policies and procedures endorsed by the Board of Directors, and future directions.
