Development management needs to address the issues as environmental protection has become a critical issue across the globe. The concept of environmental protection emerged in response to concern over the consequences of rapid development efforts and increased awareness of the depletion of common pool resources. Environmental protection measures are expected to hold businesses and industries responsible for their actions that have implications on human health and contribute to offsetting the costs by influencing behavior through incentives and sanctions. The emphasis is on sustainability that aims to ensure meeting "the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generation to meet their own needs." The World Bank started an initiative of "mainstreaming" the environment and "greening" the Bank's portfolio. Several studies have found examples of best practices that have the potential to contribute to effective environmental protection.
