the world bank climate and disaster risk screening tools are a suite of self-paced tools developed to help screen climate change and disaster risks at an early stage of project design or national/sectoral level planning processes. risk screening is an initial, but essential, step to ensure these risks are assessed and managed to support mainstreaming of climate and disaster resilience into key development policies, programs, and projects. risk screening is also a critical step towards the world bank group’s commitment to align financing flows with the paris agreement, starting july 1, 2023. the tools can be applied to a range of sectors and link to climate projections, country adaptation profiles and sectoral guidance, and disaster risk data sources. the data, combined with the user's understanding of the subject matter and country context, generates a characterization of risks to help inform the need for further studies, dialogue and planning processes at the project/program level.
