| dc.description.abstract | The objective of this technical note is to orient the IDB Group's Environmental Safeguards Specialists in their assessment and management of reservoir emissions risk. This note contains: (i) a summary of the current knowledge about reservoir emissions; (ii) a conceptual framework for the assessment of reservoir emissions risk; (iii) procedures for IDB Group Environmental Safeguards Specialists to follow in order to screen for reservoir emissions risk and to provide due diligence on borrower capacity; and (iv) a brief discussion of actions that the IDB may require of the borrower to mitigate and monitor reservoir emissions risk. |
