The World Bank, as the largest multilateral donor for environmental sustainability, has been spending up to $3 billion dollars annually on environmental sustainability projects. Thus, the question needs to be raised what influences the Bank's allocation of aid for environmental sustainability. Who is the model recipient for the World Bank? The research is based on logit and linear regression analysis for the period of 1995-2006 with a sample of 100 aid recipient countries. Additionally, the regression outputs were compared with World Bank aid policies. As the analysis will show, the World Bank's allocation of funds for environmental sustainability is influenced by poverty, political, economic and regional variables. Out of the environmental variables tested one was significant: CO2 emissions. Overall, environmental aid is placed within the broader poverty alleviation framework of aid. The article suggests a revision of allocation policies to ensure a greater effectiveness of the Bank's environmental aid distribution.}, pages = {95--112}, title = {Who Gets Green Aid from the World Bank?: The Determinants of the Bank's Global Aid Allocation for the Environment.}, volume = {40}, year = {2011} }
