KLIMOS Toolkit Screening Note

Screening Note

- KLIMOS Toolkit -

The Screening Sheet consists of a set of guiding questions:

-to assess the environmental impacts of development co-operation interventions (e.g. projects) on the environment; and

-to assess the environmental risks faced by the development co-operation interventions (e.g. projects)

  1. Management

5.1.Do the local communities involved with the intervention have the capacity to adapt to a changing natural environment?

5.2 Which measures are taken to enhance the local communities’ adaptive capacity?

5.3 Are environmental sustainability issues addressed in each phase of the intervention cycle? (e.g. identification, formulation, implementation, monitoring, follow-up and evaluation of a project)

5.4Is there any local environmental regulation and/or legislation that should be fulfilled (e.g. Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA))?

5.5 How will these environmental regulation/legislation requirements be fulfilled with regard to this intervention?

5.6Are local stakeholders involved in the design of the intervention, especially with regard to the mainstreaming of environmental impacts and risks?

5.7 Are local stakeholders, particularly vulnerable groups (women, children) specifically vulnerable to environmental risk?
