Pollution Prevention and Abatement Handbook, 1998: Toward Cleaner Production, Page 777World Bank Group, United Nations Environment Programme, United Nations Industrial Development Organization World Bank Group, 1999 - 457 pages The handbook has been prepared to update and replace the "1988 Environmental Guidelines." The handbook is specifically designed to be used in the context of the Bank's environmental policies, as set out in Operational Policy (OP) 4.01, "Environmental Assessment, " and related documents. It promotes the concepts of sustainable development by focusing attention on the benefits - both environmental and economic -- of pollution prevention, including cleaner production and good management techniques. Part I contains a summary of key policy lessons in pollution management, derived from practical experience inside and outside the Bank Group over the past decade. Part II presents good-practice notes on implementation of policy objectives, based on experience with the Bank Group projects and on lessons from the policies and practices of other agencies and organizations in this field. Part III provides detailed guidelines to be applied in the preparation of the Bank Group projects. It represents state-of-the-art thinking on how to reduce pollution emissions from the production process. |
