World Wildlife Fund Colombia/ Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development (MADS) Orinoquia Integrated Sustainable Landscapes (P167830) ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL COMMITMENT PLAN (ESCP) June 12th, 2019 1|Page Ministerio de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible / WWF Colombia Orinoquia Integrated Sustainable Landscapes ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL COMMITMENT PLAN 1. World Wildlife Fund Colombia (WWF Colombia) is planning to implement the Orinoquia Integrated Sustainable Landscapes Project (the Project), with the involvement of the following agencies: Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development (MADS), Parques Nacionales Naturales (PNN), Corporinoquia, Instituto Alexander Von Humboldt (IAvH), Instituto de Hidrología, Meteorología y Estudios Ambientales (IDEAM) and Sistema Regional de �reas Protegidas (SIRAP). The World Bank (hereinafter the Bank), acting as an implementing agency of the Global Environmental Facility, has agreed to provide financing for the Project. 2. WWF Colombia and MADS will implement material measures and actions so that the Project is implemented in accordance with the World Bank Environmental and Social Standards (ESSs). This Environmental and Social Commitment Plan (ESCP) sets out a summary of the material measures and actions. 3. Where the ESCP refers to specific plans or other documents, whether they have already been prepared or are to be developed, the ESCP requires compliance with all provisions of such plans or other documents. In particular, the ESCP requires compliance with the following instruments:  Environmental and Social Assessment (ESA), completed  Stakeholder Engagement Plan, completed  Indigenous Peoples Planning Framework (IPPF), draft completed.  Process Framework (PF), draft completed.  Environmental and Social Management Plans to be prepared for every infrastructure work to be carried under Part 2.1.2 of the Project, in accordance with the guidelines set out in chapter 8 of the ESA (see Action 1.5 below).  Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) to be prepared for Conservation- Production Pilots for ecological connectivity in forestry, rice and livestock landscapes (Part 2.2.1 of the Project) (See Action 1.3 below).  Integrated Pests Management and Agrochemicals Use Program for Part 2.2.1 of the Project, to be prepared in accordance with the guidelines in section 7.15 of the ESA (See Action 3.1 below).  Sustainable Management Plan for wild species / populations for Parts 2.2.1 and 2.3.3 of the Project, to be prepared under terms of reference acceptable to the bank (See Action 6.1).  Security protocol for field visits and work, to be prepared under guidelines set out in Section 7.16 of the ESA (See Action 3.2 below).  Labor Management Procedures, to be prepared (See Action 2.1 below). 4. The table below summarizes the material measures and actions that are required as well as the timing of the material measures and actions. WWF Colombia is responsible for compliance with all requirements of the ESCP even when implementation of specific measures and actions is conducted by the Ministry, agency or unit referenced in 1. above. 5. Implementation of the material measures and actions set out in this ESCP will be monitored and reported to the Bank by WWF Colombia and MADS as required by the ESCP and the conditions of the legal 2|Page agreement, and the Bank will monitor and assess progress and completion of the material measures and actions throughout implementation of the Project. 6. As agreed by the Bank and WWF Colombia, this ESCP may be revised from time to time during Project implementation, to reflect adaptive management of Project changes and unforeseen circumstances or in response to assessment of Project performance conducted under the ESCP itself. In such circumstances, WWF Colombia will agree to the changes with the Bank and will update the ESCP to reflect such changes. Agreement on changes to the ESCP will be documented through the exchange of letters signed between the Bank and the WWF Colombia. The WWF Colombia will promptly disclose the updated ESCP. 7. Where Project changes, unforeseen circumstances, or Project performance result in changes to the risks and impacts during Project implementation, the WWF shall provide additional funds, if needed, to implement actions and measures to address such risks and impacts, which may include, inter alia: a. those associated to the exposure of Project workers to wilderness conditions when conducting fieldwork in remote areas, which may create health risks related to that kind of work, and the safety risks associated to the fact that the Project area has been subject to armed conflicts and that some sporadic violence events are still witnessed in some parts of the Project area, from time to time; b. downstream outcomes of technical assistance activities to be conducted (e.g. those to support the development of new sectorial and land use planning regulations) may not be aligned with ESS (e.g. approved sectorial plans might lead to habitat conversion inside or outside the Project area; approved land use plans might impose restrictions to the use of lands and natural resources without properly considering the views and decision making systems of local stakeholders, and/or exacerbate local conflicts; etc.). 3|Page ORINOQUIA INTEGRATED SUSTAINABLE LANDSCAPES ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL COMMITMENT PLAN June 4Th, 2019 Summary of the Material Measures and Actions to Mitigate the Timeframe Responsibility / Date of Completion Project’s Potential Environmental and Social Risks and Impacts Authority and Resources/Funding Committed ESCP Monitoring and Reporting A REGULAR REPORTING: Prepare and submit regular monitoring reports Quarterly reports will be WWF in coordination Reports prepared on the environmental and social (E&S) performance of the Project, developed and delivered with MADS and PNN. throughout Project including, inter alia, implementation of the ESCP, implementation of all to the Bank. implementation. the E&S documents that have been prepared for the Project, and the preparation and implementation of all the E&S documents to be prepared for the Project under the ESCP.
