The participation of developing countries in institutions of global governance is important as it may influence the inclusion of environment as an area of strategic importance in national policies. For example, environment is one of the five core areas of operations and environmental sustainability, as a strategic agenda and area of work, is increasingly integrated across Asian Development Bank (ADB) operations and forms an important part of ADB’s assistance programs (ADB, 2018). The African Bank’s environmental policy was approved by the Board in 1990. The importance of the environment evolved from the ADF-VI Lending Policy to a central pillar of development in the ADF-VIII Lending Policy. In that respect, the implementation of the Bank’s Environmental Policy is of prime importance as one of the leading instruments of change in its Regional Member Country constituency (AfDB, 2000). The Inter-American Development Bank helps member countries address environmental challenges by financing activities to improve the management of protected areas, generate income opportunities for communities that depend on ecosystem services, manage coastal and marine resources, and support climate change and disaster risk management initiatives in critical watersheds (IADB, accessed 21/12/2018) (Inter-American Development Bank [IADB] 2018).
