| Description: | The World Bank's Environmentally and Socially Sustainable Development (ESSD) Network comprises three areas: Environment, Rural Development, and Social Development. The goal of ESSD is to contribute to the Bank's mission of fighting poverty by improving poor people's livelihoods, health, and security today and in the future. ESSD does this by helping to: enhance environmental quality and natural resource management; maintain the global ecosystems; improve access to natural resources; and generally increase poor people's capacity to improve their lives and influence the decisions that affect them. The ESSD Advisory Service supports the work of the Environmentally and Socially Sustainable Development Network in the World Bank.
