The purpose of this article is to make a preliminary assessment of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) in the context of environmental impacts and arising not-in-my-backyard (NIMBY) opposition in host countries. We discuss the use of cost-benefit analysis (CBA) in developing countries (most members of BRI) and application of the available conflict-resolution mechanisms to deal with siting issues. We review these instruments and suggest a way forward for BRI NIMBY projects. JEL Codes: O53, R58
