Overview

This course will provide a basic overview of the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) environ associated with road project delivery with emphasis on developing individual skills and organizational methodologies needed to deliver effective ESG strategies and plans. Using the new World Bank Environmental and Social Framework as a guide, the course will explore each of the ten Environmental and Social Standards developing insights on subject drivers and management tools useful for application in road project preparation and delivery. The course leans toward the public or owner view although all stakeholder perspectives are incorporated into the course material.
