IOs are criticized for being badly coordinated and even for not considering environmental problems as their priority in their relations with borrowing countries. Particularly via their impact on trade liberalization and their promotion of growth-oriented policies, IOs are accused of harming the natural environment.

This chapter tries to answer this question; it includes IOs whose main task is promoting economic development, growth and trade, and tests whether their presence and projects in different countries have on average significant effects on environmental governance and outcomes.
