This manual provides comprehensive information for the World Bank's publication, "Poverty and the Environment," released on November 15, 2007. This work delves into the critical linkages between poverty and environmental resources, particularly in low-income countries. It examines how environmental factors influence household welfare, health, and livelihoods, drawing on empirical evidence to inform policy conclusions for governments and organizations focused on sustainable development and poverty reduction.
The scope of this manual encompasses the analysis and synthesis of key findings related to environmental determinants of household welfare. It is intended for scholars, development practitioners, and policymakers seeking a deeper understanding of the inextricable links between poverty reduction and natural resource management. The publication offers insights into specific reforms and interventions that can positively impact the health and economic well-being of impoverished populations, contributing to informed decision-making in the developing world.
Drawing upon recent analytical work prepared inside and outside the World Bank, this report identifies key lessons concerning the linkages between poverty and the environment. With a focus on the contribution of environmental resources to household welfare, the analysis increases our understanding of how specific reforms and interventions can have an impact on the health and livelihoods of poor people. 'Scholars and development practitioners increasingly recognize that in low-income countries there are inextricable links between poverty reduction and natural resources management. Demand has grown immensely for not only more, but better empirical evidence on those links. This volume offers a careful synthesis of key findings from growing literature on the environmental determinants of household welfare, as reflected by indicators of consumption, health, and income. The primary contribution of this study is that is has drawn out vital policy conclusions that will be of value to organizations and governments concerned about poverty and the environment in the developing world.' --Professor Christopher B. Barrett, Cornell University
