Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Financial Flows for Environment: World Bank, UNDP, UNEP Uwe Steckhan August 2009 53890 CONCESSIONAL FINANCE AND GLOBAL PARTNERSHIPS VICE PRESIDENCY THE WORLD BANK GROUP
Abstract While there is a common understanding of the urgent need to support the environment, there is little analysis of the financial flows directed to do so. This note attempts to provide an overview of the development financial flows for the environment through the three main implementing agencies of the Global Environment Facility (GEF), the World Bank, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). The GEF is a major source of grant funding for the environment, with annual flows averaging about US$658 million for its implementing agencies. The World Bank adds additionally about US$2 billion annually for the environment through its lending operations. Flows for the environment through trust funds analyzed in this note average US$244 million annually, and are in a similar order of magnitude than the flows through the UNDP and the UNEP. Finally, this note presents details on the thematic and regional focus areas of these channels and draws out trends in the development of the financial flows through these.

A I. A M This analysis uses different data sources due to limitations of data availability for the different agencies. The analysis is based on commitment data for World Bank lending and the GEFIA, disbursement data for trust funds, and financial statement expenditure / income data for UNDP and UNEP. For this reason, data is not always comparable between the implementing agencies. Where available, data for the last five fiscal years (for Bank channels) or calendar years has been taken into account. The specific data sources are listed and limitations of the data and findings are pointed out accordingly. A regional breakdown has been provided where available and if possible also a distinction between aid to IBRD and IDA countries has been made. For the purpose of this analysis, environmental flows have been classified according to each agency s definition. For the World Bank lending and trust fund data all financial flows marked with the Environment and Natural Resources Management (ENRM) theme are considered environment related for this analysis. This theme comprises seven subthemes, which have been broken out where possible to identify focus areas of the different channels: B C C E P I L A M P M E H W R M O E N R M These subthemes include following activities 16 : B E F W 16 S W B OPCS
