Safeguard resources for GEF and GCF projects
The purpose of the WWF-US Safeguards Resource Page is to provide information on WWF-US Safeguards Integrated Policies and Procedures (SIPP) which includes Policy on Environment and Social Assessment; Policy on Protection of Natural Habitats; Policy on Involuntary Resettlement Policy on Indigenous People; Standard on Pest Management; Policy on Accountability and Grievance Systems; Standard on Physical Cultural Resources; and Guidance Note on Dams and Dam Safety. The SIPP is mandatory to all Green Climate Fund and Global Environment Facility financed projects. Although it’s not mandatory, the SIPP serves as standards for all WWF-US’s projects and is already being applied to projects outside the GCF and GEF portfolios.
