Environment & Ecology / environment, displaced people
English term or phrase: 'environment proof'
Dear all,

Here I am again asking for your kind help. I would like to find the correct Spanish translation for 'environment proof' according to the next sentences:

Should development agencies and donors ‘environment proof ’ their development policies and programmes?

and

Third, given the multi-causality of environmentally-induced displacement, in which development programmes and projects themselves may accentuate the destructive impacts of climate change, there is an urgent need for donors and development agencies to ‘environment proof ’ their projects and programmes, and for national governments to ensure that issues of environmental migration are embraced by Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers and conflict reduction strategies.

It is important to mention that the term 'environment proof' is written between English quote marks.

I will really appreciate your help.

Best regards.

\'environment proof\'
proyectos a prueba del medio ambiente


Explanation:
Mi sugerencia:

...la necesidad de que los donantes y las agencias de desarrollo elaboren proyectos "a prueba del medio ambiente"...

Creo que así, entre comillas, mantiene el juego de palabras del original "proof", que no solamente indica que deberían tener en cuenta los impactos ambientales sino que los proyectos deben ser completamente inocuos para el medio ambiente, que no deben afectarlo en absoluto, que deben de ser "impermeables" a él.

consideraciones medioambientales


Explanation:
Otra traducción libre, algo largo quizás...

- tomar en cuenta las consideraciones medioambientales
- asegurarse que sus proyectos sean conformes a las consideraciones del medio ambiente

¡Suerte!
