IDB's Environmental and Social Policy Framework

In this course, IDB's Environmental and Social Policy Framework, you will learn the fundamental principles, processes, actors, and phases of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) approach to promoting sustainable, inclusive, and resilient development in Latin America and the Caribbean. Through a dynamic journey across different "chronicles" or development trajectories, you will explore how the 10 environmental and social performance standards of the Framework are applied in practice. This course will enable you to identify socio-environmental risks and opportunities, understand key implementation requirements, and develop skills to tackle complex challenges. By the end of the course, you will have practical tools to enhance the quality and sustainability of the projects you work on, whether in the public sector, private sector, or multilateral organizations. No prior experience in environmental or social topics is required.
