The core message of the 2001 World Bank Environment Strategy was to support developing countries in their efforts to mainstream or integrate environmental considerations into activities of the economic sectors (energy, water supply, urban development, rural development, transport, etc.). The Strategy sought to move beyond mitigating environmental impacts of development, embodied in the Bank s environmental safeguards policies, towards a progressive adoption of environmental aspects across Bank services. The tools suggested to help the Bank s client countries achieve such integration were upstream analytical and advisory inputs for sector decision-making and for improving the understanding of poverty-environment linkages. As an input to the new 2010 World Bank Environment Strategy, this paper aims at assessing the degree of mainstreaming environmental activities in Bank activities, reviewing how this was achieved, and determining whether it helped countries in their environmental management efforts. Furthermore, since the 2010 Environment Strategy seeks to move the World Bank Group towards environmental sustainability, the paper recommends illustrations of environmental outcome indicators as part of the 2010 Strategy's results framework.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCOUNTABILITYACCOUNTINGADAPTATION TO CLIMATE CHANGEADVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTSAFFORDABLE PUBLIC TRANSPORTAFFORDABLE TRANSPORTAIRAIR POLLUTIONAIR QUALITYALTERNATIVE FUELSAPPROACHARSENICBALANCEBANKING SECTORBRIDGECARCAR TRAVELCARBONCARBON FINANCECARBON FOOTPRINTCARBON INTENSITYCARBON MARKETSCARBON OFFSETCHEMICALSCLEAN AIRCLEAN TRANSPORTCLIMATECLIMATE CHANGECLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATIONCLIMATE CHANGE POLICYCOCOALCOAL BED METHANECOAL COMBUSTIONCOMPARATIVE ANALYSISDEFORESTATIONDEMAND STEMMINGDIESELDISINFECTIONDRAINAGEDRINKING WATERDRIVERSDRIVERS OF DEFORESTATIONECONOMICSECONOMISTSECOSYSTEMEFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENTELECTRICITYELECTRICITY SERVICESEMISSIONEMISSION CONTROLEMISSIONSEMISSIONS CONTROLEMISSIONS REDUCTIONENERGY CONSERVATIONENERGY DEVELOPMENTENERGY EFFICIENCYENERGY GENERATIONENERGY MIXENERGY POLICYENERGY STRATEGYENVIRONMENTALENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATIONENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTSENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENTENVIRONMENTAL ISSUESENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTENVIRONMENTAL POLICIESENVIRONMENTAL POLICYENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMSENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONFINANCIAL MARKETSFINANCIAL RISKSFISHERIESFISHERIES MANAGEMENTFLOODSFLUE GASFLUE GAS DESULFURIZATIONFORESTFOREST MANAGEMENTFORESTRYFORESTSFREIGHTFUELFUEL QUALITYGAS FLARINGGAS FLARING REDUCTIONGAS PLANTGAS SECTORGENERATIONGHGGHGSGLOBAL ENERGY MARKETGLOBAL ENVIRONMENT FACILITYGREENHOUSEGREENHOUSE GASHEATHIGHWAYHIGHWAY PLANNINGHIGHWAY PROJECTSINCREMENTAL COSTSINDUSTRIAL POLLUTIONINFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTINLAND WATERWAYSINSPECTIONINSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENTINVENTORYLEGISLATIONLIQUEFIED NATURAL GASLIVING CONDITIONSLOCAL GOVERNMENTLOW-CARBONMANDATESMETHANEMONITORING EQUIPMENTMONTREAL PROTOCOLNATIONAL HIGHWAYSNATIONAL PARKSNATURAL GASNATURAL RESOURCESNITROGENNITROGEN OXIDESOILOIL COMPANYPARTICULATEPARTICULATE MATTERPEDESTRIANSPIPELINEPOLLUTANTSPOLLUTIONPOLLUTION ABATEMENTPOLLUTION CONTROLPOLLUTION PREVENTIONPOPULATION GROWTHPORTFOLIO ANALYSISPOWERPOWER GENERATIONPOWER PLANT FLUEPOWER PLANTSPOWER SECTORPRIMARY ENERGYPRODUCTIVITYPUBLIC SERVICESPUBLIC TRANSPORTRAILRAIL TRANSPORTRENEWABLE ENERGIESRENEWABLE ENERGYRENEWABLE RESOURCERENEWABLE RESOURCESRENEWABLE SOURCESRESOURCE MANAGEMENTRESOURCE MOBILIZATIONRESOURCE USERETIREMENTRISK MANAGEMENTROADROADSRURAL COMMUNITIESRURAL ROADSSANITATIONSO2SOIL CARBONSULFURSULFUR CONTENTSULFUR DIOXIDESUNLIGHTSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSUSTAINABLE ENERGYSUSTAINABLE GROWTHSUSTAINABLE WATERTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETHERMAL POWERTHERMAL POWER PLANTTRAFFICTRAFFIC MANAGEMENTTRANSPORTTRANSPORT ACTIVITIESTRANSPORT OPERATIONSTRANSPORT PROJECTSTRANSPORT SECTORTRANSPORT STRATEGYTRUST FUNDSURBAN DEVELOPMENTURBAN SERVICESURBAN TRANSPORTURBANIZATIONUTILITIESVEHICLEVEHICLE EMISSIONSVEHICLE FLEETWASTE DISPOSALWASTE MANAGEMENTWASTEWATER TREATMENTWATER PRICINGWATER QUALITYWATER SUPPLYWATER USEWINDWorld Bank10.1596/12470
