SiteSense Lite | GAB Climate Smart Investments Ltd

Submit a site for early screening

Use this when you need a practical first look at a site before deeper due diligence. The first output is a checklist and review pathway, not a formal ESIA (Environmental and Social Impact Assessment), EPA permit, legal advice, land-title opinion, or field verification.

Important limit

SiteSense Lite does not make a government, EPA, legal, land-title, or permitting decision. It helps you see the questions that should be checked before deeper commitment.

SiteSense Lite Features

Location context

Region, district, nearest community, coordinates, and boundary quality are captured clearly.

Environmental signals

Water, wetland, forest, protected-area, land-cover, and access questions are brought into view.

People and institutions

Community, district, traditional, sector, and permitting pathways are treated as part of the site decision.

Next step

The request can remain a free checklist, move to analyst review, or become a consultancy discussion.

How to use it

1

Show us the place

Draw a polygon, enter coordinates, or describe the location well enough for review.

2

Explain the decision

Different uses raise different land, environmental, community, and institutional questions.

3

Keep the reference

Use the code for follow-up if the site needs a deeper desk review or field verification.

Screen a Ghana site before the decision becomes expensive.
