CLIMATE AND DISASTER RISK SCREENING
Acknowledgements
The climate and Disaster Risk Screening Tools were developed under the World Bank’s NDC Technical Assistant (TA) Program to the Government of Uganda “Accelerating Climate and Development Action in Uganda through Mainstreaming Support in Planning, Budgeting, and Institutional Processes” in close collaboration with the Climate Change Department (CCD) (under the Ministry of Water and Environment), the Ministry of Finance, Planning and Economic Development (MOFPED), and the National Planning Authority (NPA). The funding to develop the tools was provided by the Climate Investment Funds (CIF).
What is climate and disaster risk screening?
Climate and Disaster Risk Screening (CDRS) is an essential step to ensure climate and natural disaster risks are assessed and managed to support mainstreaming of adaptation and resilience into key development policies, programs, and projects. Considering climate and disaster risks in today’s development planning, can increase the long-term success of development efforts, while realizing other co-benefits.
The customized CDRS Tools provide a structured and systematic way for sector projects to undertake due diligence and enable an early characterization of climate and disaster risks using an in-built interface on key climate patterns and trends. The output of this screening will provide the basis to better address climate and disaster risks in project design and implementation.
Why screen for climate and geophysical hazards?
Learn about the climate trends and key geophysical hazards relevant to a specific location and project.
Flag potential impacts and risks from climate and geophysical hazards in a systematic, consistent, and transparent way.
Inform the dialogue, construction and planning processes at the project and program level
Recognize the need for further detailed assessment during project preparation and or planning processes.
Identify other resources and tools to complement your assessments.
