Climate Action and Support Transparency Training Adaptation Academy

Training

The CASTT Adaptation Academy aims to enhance the ability of developing countries to conduct vulnerability and adaptation assessments, prepare and report, in timely manner, information resulting from such assessments and the implementation of national adaptation actions, including their Nationally Determined Contributions  for their national communications, biennial update reports, and biennial transparency reports under the measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) arrangements of the Convention and the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) of the Paris Agreement.

Climate Resilient City Tool (CRCTool)

Tool

The Climate Resilient City Tool (CRCTool) is an interactive online tool and is easy to use by both experts and non-experts in the field of urban planning and adaptation.

Community-Led Urban Environmental Sanitation Planning (CLUES)

Tool

The CLUES approach presents comprehensive guidelines for the planning and implementation of environmental sanitation infrastructure and services in disenfranchised urban and peri-urban communities. The planning approach builds on a framework which balances the needs of people with those of the environment to support human dignity and a healthy life. CLUES is a multi-sector and multi-actor approach accounting for water supply, sanitation, solid waste management and storm drainage. It emphasizes the participation of all stakeholders from an early stage in the planning process. CLUES contains 30 different tools to support the environmental sanitation planning processes at the local level.

Consultant Capacity Development (ConCaD)

Tool

Consultant Capacity Development is an open-source training materials and a wide array of resources to build the capacities of private sector consulting firms and individual consultants in how to conceptualize, plan, design and supervise the implementation of citywide inclusive urban sanitation (CWIS) services.

Dynamic Adaptive Policy Pathways

Tool

Dynamic Adaptive Policy Pathways: supporting decision making under uncertainty using Adaptation Tipping Points and Adaptation Pathways in policy analysis

Fecal Sludge Management Toolbox

Tool

The FSM Toolbox is a web platform with a suite of tools and resources designed to assist and guide anyone interested in undertaking assessments and planning FSM infrastructure improvements. The assessment tool will help users generate Shit Flow Diagram and City Service Delivery Assessment. 

g-res

Tool

The tool is designed to help hydropower companies and researchers estimate and report the net greenhouse gas emissions of a reservoir.

Global Mangrove Watch (GMW)

Tool

Monitoring to catalyze the action needed to protect and restore mangroves

Thriving mangroves are key to the health of nature and effective climate action. Global Mangrove Watch (GMW) is an online platform that provides the remote sensing data and tools for monitoring mangroves necessary for this. It gives universal access to near real-time information on where and what changes there are to mangroves across the world, and highlights why they are valuable.

With hi-res information on topography, soil conditions and hydrology, Global Mangrove Watch gives coastal and park managers, conservationists, policymakers and practitioners the evidence needed to respond to illegal logging, pinpoint the causes of local mangrove loss and track restoration progress. It is a tool that can help mangroves be central to climate mitigation, adaptation and sustainable development plans and policies.

Green Utility Toolkit

Tool

The Green Utility Toolkit is a self-assessment strategic planning and monitoring tool for water and wastewater utilities that are interested and willing to improve their practices in a sustainable and environmentally-conscious manner.

Guidelines on Sanitation and Health

Publication

WHO Guidelines on Sanitation and Health summarize the evidence on the effectiveness of a range of sanitation interventions and provide a framework for health-protecting sanitation, including policy and governance measures, implementation of sanitation technologies, systems and behavioral interventions, risk-based management, and monitoring approaches. The guidelines articulate the role of the health sector in maximizing the health impact of sanitation interventions. And also identify gaps in the evidence-base to guide future research efforts to improve the effectiveness of sanitation interventions.
