    Content: Prioridades ambientales y reduccion de la pobreza en Colombia formula una serie de propuestas dirigidas a reducir el costo de la degradacion ambiental y a la vez apoyar un desarrollo equitativo y sustentable en Colombia. La degradacion ambiental reduce la productividad y aumenta las enfermedades y muertes, particularmente en la poblacion infantil menor a cinco anos. La contaminacion del aire en los centros urbanos, asi como la intradomiciliaria; el deficiente suministro de servicios de agua potable, saneamiento e higiene; los desastres naturales, particularmente las inundaciones y los deslizamientos; y la degradacion del suelo son los problemas ambientales que generan el mayor costo economico y social en Colombia. El costo de estos problemas recae en la mayoria de los casos en los grupos de poblacion mas vulnerables. Prioridades ambientales y reduccion de la pobreza en Colombia analiza la evolucion de la gestion ambiental, a partir de 1950, en un periodo de transicion de una economia rural una urbana. Posteriormente se estudia la problematica ambiental en Colombia y se examinan los costos y beneficios de alternativas para enfrentar cada uno de los problemas identificados como los que afectan la salud humana y tambien los asociados con la vulnerabilidad a desastres naturales, la deforestacion, la erosion y salinizacion de los suelos, la perdida de la biodiversidad, el cambio climatico global y la destruccion de la capa de ozono. Para concluir, se examinan diferentes opciones

    Content: La edicion de este libro se deriva de documentos de antecedentes preparados originalmente como base para un estudio del Banco Mundial publicado en 2005, titulado 'Integrating Environmental Considerations in Policy Formulation: Lessons from Policy- Based SEA Experience'. Las politicas publicas constituyen una herramienta clave para atender la degradacion ambiental actual y futura y el uso de los recursos naturales. El libro contiene importantes ensenanzas sobre como mejorar el diseno y la implementacion de la Evaluacion Ambiental Estrategica (EAE) a las politicas publicas, tanto desde la perspectiva de la oferta como de la demanda, para hacerlas mas sostenibles. Asimismo se explora la eficacia de la aplicacion de la EAE a las politicas y presenta un nuevo marco conceptual y metodologico para su aplicacion.

    Content: The Bank's environmental agenda has evolved gradually since the 1970s. During the 1970s and 1980s, the main focus was on mitigating the potential environmental damage associated with investment projects using environmental impact assessments (EIA). This approach was formalized in the Bank's environmental assessment (EA) requirements, which today consist of a set of individual environmental policies and procedures. Recent evaluations of the Bank's safeguards policy implementation reveal that shortages in environmental safeguards specialists and inadequate skills mix, among other factors, are affecting the quality of safeguards implementation. This report recommends strengthening the environmental safeguards career track to help elevate the profile of safeguards specialists and provide opportunities for career advancement in the course of doing safeguards work. The report also recommends that there be an organizational restructuring to enhance the Bank's capabilities for conducting effective safeguards work. Furthermore, the report recommends developing a comprehensive training program that will enhance the safeguards skill mix and increase the effectiveness of safeguards support at the Bank. This report also recommends adopting a categorization methodology that reduces reliance on procedures requiring subjective judgments. Next, the report recommends the creation of a systematic program for measuring, reporting, and evaluating the effects of safeguards implementation. It also recommends a move towards substantive compliance and environmental sustainability principles for the safeguards framework. This report also recommends disseminating knowledge of policy instruments, besides environment impact assessments, that are able to produce similar or better outcomes than the Bank's safeguard policy requirements. The design and implementation of instruments for environmental policy can be pursued with a more risk-based and differentiated approach, based on country or borrower capacity. In addition to the mitigation of negative impacts, this report recommends institutionalizing the enhancement of positive impacts and client capacity building measures into the safeguards framework.
