This Annual Review of Environment
Matters, dedicated to Economic Growth and the Environment,
brings together a wide variety of external and internal
viewpoints on the challenges ahead, and the progress that is
taking place. In this issue, three major partner

Bank's recent research on what happens to environment
during growth, and the different tools available to promote
environmentally, and socially sustainable economic growth.
It also includes reviews of the Bank's environmental
programs in developing countries and its global engagement.
The review includes viewpoints on the environment and
competitiveness; on harmonizing environmental concerns and
economic growth from the Indian perspective; integrating

China; mainstreaming and infrastructure; and, health-driven
environmental issues. Moreover, the review features articles
