Resumen
Descripción
In 2022, FAO's new safeguards policy, the Framework for Environmental and Social Management (FESM) was endorsed by the Director-General. The policy establishes environmental and social performance requirements and applies to all projects and programmes implemented by FAO, meaning they all go through environmental and social risk screening. FAO's safeguards policy goes beyond a ‘do no harm’ approach and includes key elements of a human rights-based approach for addressing environmental and social risks and impacts in programming. The FESM is a major step towards strengthening FAO's approach to environmental and social risk management and ensuring adherence to best industry standards such as the UN Environmental Management Group Model Approach. It also complies with the requirements of FAO's multilateral and bilateral donors.
