Environmental and Social Safeguard (ESS) Handbook

China Clean Development Mechanism Fund (hereinafter referred to as “the Fund”) is a policy fund established upon the approval of the State Council, which is managed in the same mode as the social fund. It aims to support China’s efforts to address climate change at government level and to promote sustainable development.

China Clean Development Mechanism Fund Management Center (hereinafter referred to as “the Center”) operates environmental and social risk management, and supports projects which are funded by capitals of the Fund or other capitals managed by the Center to promote environmental and social sustainable development.

By compiling this handbook, the Center establishes a system of environmental and social risk management, provides relevant management methods, assessment standards and assessment procedures, ensures that projects funded by capitals of the Fund or other capitals managed by the Center are operated in accordance with the performance standards, and therefore guides and standardizes environmental and social risk management operated by the Center.

This handbook is compiled based on the current environmental and social risk management of clean development entrusted loans of the Fund, taking reference from the Green Climate Fund’s fundamental requirements of environmental and social risk management as well as common practice of international organizations such as the International Finance Corporation, the World Bank, and the Asian Development Bank. With the increase of the capital’s categories and of the capital scale, the Center will revise the contents of the handbook according to the accumulated project experience, and will improve the environment and regulations for environmental and social risk management.
