The LSLRCC is a free, multilingual modeling tool designed to help communities accurately estimate the costs of replacing hazardous lead service lines. It advances equity-focused water infrastructure planning by supporting data-driven decisions for safe drinking water, public health, and sustainable infrastructure aligned with multiple UN Sustainable Development Goals.

The Environmental and Social Policy Framework (ESPF) aims to contribute to the IDB’s overarching objective of achieving sustainable development in Latin America and the Caribbean.The ESPF seeks to enhance the sustainability of the IDB-financed investment projects through the application of robust environmental and social risk management standards.

The Global Infrastructure Hub (GI Hub), a G20 initiative, and its consultant, Atkins Acuity, have created this Reference Tool on Inclusive Infrastructure. It defines inclusivity in large scale infrastructure projects. It also provides guidance and shares leading practices to maximise the impact of projects on reducing inequality and promoting shared prosperity.

The PIEVC program comprises of a family of resources for climate risk and vulnerability assessments of infrastructure specifically designed for the needs of infrastructure practitioners that
– can be used for anything, from 1 single component of an infrastructure to an entire asset portfolio.
– can be used at any stage of the infrastructure lifecycle.
– use a threshold-based, component-by-component & participatory approach
– are ISO31000 and 14090 compliant
– Available resources (i.a.): PIEVC Protocol, PIEVC Large Portfolio Screening Manual, PIEVC Green as well as trainings on the tool

RepRisk is an ESG risk database that helps to systematically screen and monitor companies’ portfolios of clients, investments and suppliers, and flag those companies with high ESG risk exposure. The tool systematically captures and analyzes adverse ESG and business conduct data, retrieved from media, stakeholders and other public resources, that can have a reputational, compliance, and financial impact on a company or project. Daily, the tool screens more than 90,000 sources in 20 languages by combining artificial and human intelligence to identify and assess risks early at the local, regional, and international level. Additional solutions to measure individual risks are available.

The OECD blended finance guidance focuses on designing blended finance to increase the mobilization of commercial finance. It highlights sub-sector specific considerations for blended finance use in clean energy projects, specifically exploring off-grid clean energy systems, energy efficiency, utility-scale renewables, and several other clean energy and integration technologies, including battery storage, green hydrogen, and carbon capture, utilization, and storage. It also draws attention to the common risks, climate finance may help overcome for these clean energy infrastructures. 

Macroeconomic modelling for climate resilient economic development (CRED) bridges the gap between economic planning and climate adaptation policies. By assessing the long-term economic effects of climate risks and adaptation measures, the tool provides additional information for decisionmakers on how to prioritise investments in adaptation. Thus, decisionmakers can compare different adaptation options with a view to reduce economic risks from climate change. The tool allows to analyse economy-wide impacts (e.g. on GDP, employment) of (1) different climate hazards on the infrastructure sector and (2) different resilient infrastructure options as adaptation measures. If a country does not yet have a macroeconomic model of climate risks, GIZ’s CRED approach can be used to develop such a model or preferably expand existing national models.

The Green Recovery Tracker platform provides concise information on national recovery measures in EU member states and assesses their contribution to the green transition. It offers evidence-based information to policy- and decision-makers in European and national institutions as well as in other organisations.

The Global Recovery Observatory brings transparency to global government spending during the COVID-19 crisis. It tracks and assesses every individual COVID-19 related fiscal spending policy announced by the 50 leading economies (more countries to be added) for potential impacts on the environment and the socio-economy. The Observatory database is updated weekly.

This guidance on gender mainstreaming in transport and roads provides specific ‘how-to’ guidance together with checklists across the project lifespan in four subsectors (roads, non-motorized transport and pedestrian infrastructure, transport systems, and ports), with context-specific Asia and Pacific regional information and case studies to showcase what socially-inclusive and gender-equitable infrastructure designs look like on the ground. It is part of a practical series of how-to guides and checklists specific to the Asia-Pacific region.
