Environmental Challenges
- Accelerated deforestation of the tropics due to bank-funded projects (jungle colonization, capital-intensive agriculture displacing farmers onto marginal lands), cattle projects converting forests to pastures, and agricultural settlement and colonization projects on poor soils.
- Unsustainable pesticide use leading to pest resistance, declining crop yields, and dangerous pesticide residues in food and water.
- Adverse impacts of tobacco projects including deforestation for curing, soil depletion, pesticide use, and public health consequences.
- Negative impacts of water projects including displacement of people, inundation of environmentally significant areas, salinization, waterlogging, siltation, and spread of waterborne diseases.
Mitigation Strategies
- World Bank suspended disbursements for Polonoroeste project due to Brazil's failure to meet environmental and indigenous protection conditions.
- World Bank and other banks claim to be making efforts to improve environmental soundness of projects, but implementation is lacking.
- Some banks have developed environmental guidelines and checklists, but their systematic use is not ensured.
- Some banks have established environmental units and hired environmental staff, but resources are insufficient.
