Is IFC planning to enhance its requirements related to water conservation?
PS1 requires clients to assess the impact of their project to water resources. PS3 requires clients to examine and incorporate resource conservation (i.e. water conservation) into their projects. PS6 looks at water through the lens of promoting the sustainable management and use of natural resources as an objective. IFC will consider, especially in relation to the climate change agenda, where and how we might strengthen our requirements around water conservation.
