In this guidance document, and the accompanying case studies, we set out recommendations for impact funds that are looking to create robust impact frameworks. The guidance is based on UNEP and UNEP-WCMC’s experience with helping funds and facilities advance environmental and social impact management in sustainable land investment. It runs through five key stages, or building blocks, for developing a sound environmental and social impact management framework for a new fund.
