This experience covers a wide range of sectors, including climate change mitigation and adaptation, green growth, natural resource management, disaster risk management, forestry, environmental policy, and others.

Many operations were designed and implemented by teams that included staff with relatively little policy lending experience, and so the opportunity for learning is substantial. 2016-08-24T17:31:08Z 2016-08-24T17:31:08Z 2016-06-29 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2016/07/26611783/lessons-environmental-policy-lending-ieg-learning-product http://hdl.handle.net/10986/24926 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Working Paper Africa Sub-Saharan Africa Turkey
