    DFID Overseas Territories Department (OTD)

    Environmental Screening Checklist


    (Guidance for external users)

    To facilitate the preparation of an Environmental Screening Note, OTD requests


    that the following information be provided, so far as possible:
    Identification of environmental issues
    1) What, if any, are the environmental risks – direct and indirect –
    associated with the project?
    2) What environmental benefits, if any, might the project generate?
    3) To what extent does the proposed project comply with relevant policy
    and legislation at the Territory and international levels, including
    multilateral environmental agreements (eg UN Convention on Biological
    Biodiversity, UN Framework Convention of Climate Change).
    4) What is the capacity for environmental management and regulation in
    the Territory relevant to the project being screened (eg the ability of
    government to address and take an integrated approach to environment
    and development, such as links between planning, finance, sectoral
    agencies and environment stakeholders; or the ability of civil society to
    participate in development processes and help articulate environmental
    needs and influence policy and practice)?
    5) What is the capacity of the implementing institution and/or contractor to
    develop and implement an environmental management plan for the
    construction and operation of the proposed project?
    6) Are there any environmental trends in the Territory or region that are
    relevant to this project?
    Identification of actions/next steps
    7) What actions, if any, need to be undertaken to ensure the risks are
    managed and benefits and opportunities maximised? In some cases,
    further environmental assessment and/or studies will be needed to
    inform subsequent decisions (for example, an environmental impact
    assessment, a strategic environmental assessment, or merely the
    gathering and analysis of additional information).
    8) How will the results and recommendations of these studies be
    incorporated into the design of the project?
    9) Can these actions be incorporated in the logical framework (eg as
    risks/assumptions)?
    Identification of responsibilities
    10) Who will be responsible for implementing these actions?
    11) Have those responsible for implementing follow-up actions been made
    aware of and confirm their agreement to their responsibilities?
    Monitoring and evaluation
    12) What environmental monitoring and evaluation will be carried out
    throughout the project cycle management process?
    Climate change risk assessment
    13) What are the potential impacts of current and future climate change on
    the project? What is the potential for the project to reduce climate
    change impacts?
