The Climate Toolkits for Infrastructure Public-Private Partnerships (PPP), developed by the World Bank Group, is a comprehensive guide designed to integrate climate considerations into the entire lifecycle of PPP infrastructure projects. The toolkit emphasizes the dual goals of climate resilience and private sector engagement. It addresses critical questions such as optimizing risk allocation in the face of climate uncertainty, promoting gender inclusivity, and enhancing the long-term sustainability of investments. Comprising a high-level toolkit and sector-specific modules, it facilitates informed decision-making at each phase of the PPP cycle.

ITF Gender Analysis Toolkit for Transport offers an easy-to-use method for incorporating a gender-inclusive perspective into transport projects, plans and policies and was informed by three underlying questions: How are travel behaviours and patterns of women and men affected by their social roles and the level of accessibility of transport services? How will transport policies, programmes and projects affect women and men differently? How will greater gender equality in the transport workforce enhance transport infrastructure, systems and modes to benefit women and other users? The tool was developed for governments, international organisations, contractors and all those who design, manage, implement or evaluate transport projects and provides three uncomplicated tools for carrying out their own gender analyses: A gender check-list, gender-relevant indicators and a questionnaire to collect data on gender in transport. The tool provides additional information on why a gender analysis is important and showcases some gender analyses best practices.

The Urban Mobility Scorecard (UMS) Tool is a digital instrument for cities to benchmark progress toward sustainable, inclusive mobility developed by the Global New Mobility Coalition of the World Economic Forum. The tool is guided by three fundamental pillars of sustainable mobility: Governance, Resilience, and Connectivity. It comprises seven questionnaire-based assessments to evaluate a cities’ progress on sustainable, inclusive mobility. It also allows the benchmarking of results by an anonymized comparison of cities’ results in the assessment and it provides supporting resources such as case studies and best practices to inspire future action. The questionnaires were tested with three trial cities from different geographical contexts to ensure that the questions in the scorecard tool are suited to a wide range of cities, recognizing different legislative, regulatory and economic powers, as well as the geographical scope of cities.

Women and girls are among the most affected by climate change, yet lacking data often result in gender-blind local climate action and policies. Her4Climate is centred on the knowledge and capacities of women in urban areas. The participatory tool provides a framework for assessing women’s exposure, sensitivity and capacity to respond to climate change in cities in 3 dimensions: (1) Health and Wellbeing, (2) Built and Natural Environments, (3) Governance and Decision-making, and aims at promoting their participation and agency in the design and management of urban climate adaptation initiatives and plans.

The PIDA Job Creation Toolkit is a service provided by NEPAD to catalyse a new African jobs focus in the development and operation of Africa’s infrastructure projects, maximising the number and quality of African jobs. The PIDA Job Creation Toolkit methodology considers a broad range of labour market effects, including direct job creation, indirect job creation, and induced job creation. It aims to catalog results from African infrastructure projects’ preparation, construction, and operation. Additionally, the methodology estimates secondary job effects, which are jobs created in other sectors of the economy due to the operational infrastructure service provided. The toolkit’s job maximization module aims to help project Owners, technical partners, and government policymakers can estimate the total job impact from their projects and maximize the number of jobs created on the African continent by specific projects without a reduction in quality.

The PIEVC (Public Infrastructure Engineering Vulnerability Committee) Protocol was first developed in 2005 by Engineers Canada (Canada’s Engineering Association). In 2012, the PIEVC got divested hat been taken over by a consortium (ICLR, CRI and GIZ). PIEVC is a 5 to 8 step climate risk assessment protocol for all types of physical infrastructure to be applyed either in early plannig stages or throughout operations and maintenance. Since 2005, it has been applyed more than 200 times, including applications outside Canada in Brazil, Costa Rica, Vietnam and the Nile Basin region.

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 CFF has compiled this toolkit in collaboration with eThekwini Municipality (Durban) to guide practitioners, decision-and policy-makers, and anyone interested in the topic, on how to improve the overall health of rivers. The toolkit comprises both grey infrastructure (i.e. human-engineered hard structures, such as gabions) and light-touch grey infrastructure (i.e. ecologically-friendly engineering solutions, such as wetland construction and brush packing). Each intervention option is accompanied by a specifications sheet with relevant information for planning, designing, financing and implementation. Whilst the interventions proposed in the toolkit are focused on the Kwa-Zulu Natal context, they can be applied elsewhere following the appropriate contextualisation process.

The toolkit provides guidelines for the identification as well as mitigation of climate risk and leveraging opportunities to improve the (climate) resilience and productivity of infrastructure throughout the whole lifecycle of a private-public-partnership (PPP) project. The PPP project lifecycle is broken down into four stages in the toolkit:(1) project identification, (2) business case, (3) transaction structuring and (4) contract management. For each project stage, the reader is provided with relevant climate-related aspects. Through several tools, frameworks and templates, the toolkit empowers the user to assess as well as quantify risks monetarily and mitigate them within the context of a PPP project structure.

The principles focus on the inclusion of vulnerable transport users in rural, peri-urban, low-income and urban areas across Europe and beyond. Over a three-year period, the EU-funded INCLUSION project addressed the challenges of accessibility to public transport in those areas. The experience gained from this project has been condensed into the principles, which provide guidance to local authorities, planners, and practitioners that strive to make mobility more inclusive, accessible and fair for all types of users.
