3. Climate Change
|
|
3.1 Will the proposed project result in significant6greenhouse gas emissions? Annex E provides additional guidance for answering this question.
|
|
3.2Is the proposed project likely to directly or indirectly increase environmental and social vulnerability to climate change now or in the future (also known as maladaptive practices)?
For example, a project that would involve indirectly removing mangroves from coastal zones or

encouraging land use plans that would suggest building houses on floodplains could increase the surrounding population’s vulnerability to climate change, specifically flooding.
|
|
4. Social Equity and Equality
|
Answer
(Yes/No/
Not Applicable)
|
4.1 Would the proposed project have environmental and social impacts that could affect vulnerable groups?
|
|

|
5. Demographics
|
Answer
(Yes/No/
Not Applicable)
|
5.1
|
Is the project likely to result in a substantial influx of people into the affected community(ies)?
|
|
5.2
|
Would the proposed project result in substantial voluntary or involuntary resettlement of populations?
For example, projects with environmental and social benefits (e.g. protected areas, climate change adaptation) that impact human settlements, and certain disadvantaged groups within these settlements in particular.
|
|
5.3
|
Would the proposed project lead to significant population density increase which could affect the environmental and social sustainability of the project?
For example, a project aiming at financing tourism infrastructure in a specific area (e.g.
coastal zone, mountain) could lead to significant population density increase which could have serious environmental and social impacts (e.g. destruction of the area’s ecology, noise pollution, waste management problems, greater work burden on women).

ADDITIONAL SCREENING QUESTIONS TO DETERMINE THE NEED AND POSSIBLE EXTENT OF FURTHER
ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL REVIEW AND MANAGEMENT
|
|
|
(Yes/No/
Not Applicable)
|
8.1
|
Is the proposed project likely to have impacts that could affect women’s and men’s ability to use, develop and protect natural resources and other natural capital assets?

9.
|
Cumulative and/or Secondary Impacts
|
Answer
(Yes/No/
Not Applicable)
|
9.1
|
Is the proposed project location subject to currently approved land use plans (e.g. roads, settlements) which could affect the environmental and social sustainability of the project? For example, future plans for urban growth, industrial development, transportation infrastructure, etc.
|
|
9.2
|
Would the proposed project result in secondary or consequential development which could lead to environmental and social effects, or would it have potential to generate cumulative impacts with other known existing or planned activities in the area?
For example, a new road through forested land will generate direct environmental and social impacts through the cutting of forest and earthworks associated with construction and potential relocation of inhabitants. These are direct impacts. In addition, however, the new road would likely also bring new commercial and domestic development (houses, shops, businesses). In turn, these will generate indirect impacts. (Sometimes these are termed “secondary” or “consequential” impacts). Or if there are similar developments planned in the same forested area then cumulative impacts need to be considered.
