Foreword
In 1987 the World Bank established an Environment Department and embarked on a major effort to incorporate environmental concerns into its lending and advisory activities. The methodologies were refined for Environmental Assessments, and by 1989 the Bank made environmental screening of all investments mandatory The 1992 World Development Report was devoted to the theme of Development and the Environment and mapped out a twofold policy strategy that builds on the complementarities between economic development and sound environmental stewardship, and minimizes the trade-offs. In January 1993 a new Vice Presidency for Environmentally Sustainable Development (ESD) was created to take forward the incorporation of sustainability issues into all aspects of the Bank's work.
Progress since these events has been substantial. A good deal has been learned about how to promote development that is sustainable, yet much remains to be learned. A number of key relationships among development, society and the environment remain poorly understood, and the Bank (and all other institutions that are seriously involved in development) is ascending the steep incline of the learning curve on numerous institutional and policy issues.
The eight essays in this volume attempt to capture our current thinking on a number of key conceptual, methodological, and practical issues, and to suggest the way forward from here. The first paper, by the Bank's Vice President for Environmentally Sustainable Development, identifies the issues and stresses the need to integrate the approaches of sociologists, ecologists, and economists in sustainable development. The succeeding three articles present each of these perspectives on sustainability They are followed by articles on how our measurement of progress needs to be deepened; how issues of environmental sustainability are gradually being mainstreamed into the core of national development policymaking; and how the Bank is seeking to assist its members in a practical way through a fourfold environmental agenda. The epilogue highlights one particularly important area for further research: expanding the capital stock. The volume is rounded out by a selected World Bank bibliography relating to ESD.
