Environmental Risk Screening Tool

Environmental Risk Screening Tool will help guide Chinese international investment projects. The overarching goal of the tool is to significantly reduce negative environmental impacts resulting from Chinese development projects around the world. The screening tool includes interactive mapping of biodiversity and environmental data against which potential development projects can be evaluated. The tool includes a standard Biodiversity Impact Analysis using a set of internationally recognized datasets (e.g., Key Biodiversity Areas, Critical Natural Habitat, Alliance for Zero Extinction sites, and Protected Areas). The tool will also include regional and country-level biodiversity and environmental data in priority countries. It is scalable for any region in the world. The tool is not available for viewing at present. But here is a powerpoint describing its capabilities.
