The Environment Matters series was created as a review on the environment by the World Bank Group. Most editions highlight the environmental research, accomplishments, and challenges of the Bank’s regions in the previous year. The 2012 special edition, after a hiatus, took a retrospective look at the World Bank Group's environmental efforts since the Earth Summit at Rio, 20 years earlier.
