DFID will provide an Accountable Grant to Acid Survivors Trust International (ASTI) to support survivors of acid and burns violence in Nepal and Pakistan by: (i) strengthening services (e.g. medical and legal); (ii) providing support (e.g. rehabilitation and reintegration); and (iii) preventing further attacks (e.g. through awareness programmes, media attention and prevention campaigns). The consultant carried out a Climate and Environmental Assessment of this Business Case which involved defining the climate and environmental context; applying a Climate and Environmental Sensitivity Analysis (to identify climate and environmental impacts and opportunities); assigning a final risk categorisation; and preparing the climate and environment assurance note.
