Project Risk Screening Tool by ADB
|
|
Description
|
The Project Risk Screening Tool is a user-friendly, desk-top (web- and paper-based) risk screening
tool pilot. Through reliance on pre-determined impacts, risk factors (tables), and assumptions,
this checklist alerts project officers and mission leaders to potential climate-induced and
disaster-related impacts and risks, and allows for possible incorporation of risk reduction
measures at the project concept/preparation stage. A Phase II envisioned at design stage.
|
|
Appropriate Use
|
Completed at concept development phase, and during fact-finding missions. For project officers and
mission leaders, to assess potential climate and disaster associated risks to diverse range of
projects. A Phase II envisioned at design stage,
|
|
Scope
|
Broad scope, for multiple sectors, vulnerable sectors and projects. Designed for Asia & Pacific.
Can be modified for other geo-climatic/geographical regions.
|
|
Key Output
|
Helps mainstream climate and disaster risk reduction and adaptation during project
preparation/concept development stage. The tool aims at generating a project risk value, and
estimates the level of anticipated climate risk (high, moderate, low). Specific risk management and
adaptation recommendations are suggested.
|
|
Key Input
|
Document prompts reference to risk tables. The risk check-list relies on existing project data/
knowledge. It prescreens and assesses probable risk against a number of preconceived impact and risk
tables, and risk-related assumptions (location of project in climate sensitive geo-climatic zones,
sector risks, capacity development, and known disaster hotspots, etc).
|
|
Ease of Use
|
Easy. 15-20 minute exercise, assuming project officer`s reasonable knowledge of project, or based on
fact-finding mission. Does not rely upon any impact modeling/boundary data, or software.

|
Applications
|
Completed at concept development phase Desk-top or during fact-finding missions. For project
officers and mission leaders, to assess potential climate and disaster associated risks. Broad
scope, for multiple sectors, vulnerable sectors and projects. Designed for Asia & Pacific.
Methodology applicable in other geo-climatic/geographical regions.
