A case study on the city of Ahmedabad's use of municipal bonds to finance climate-resilient urban development and green infrastructure.

This fact sheet details a USD 19 million US municipal green bond issued by the Schertz-Seguin Local Government Corporation on November 15, 2018, to finance water supply infrastructure for the cities of Seguin and Schertz in Texas.

The Centre for Environmental Rights (CER) submitted a formal request to Eskom on 8 October 2018 for records and reports concerning the Medupi and Kusile coal-fired power stations. The request focuses on environmental compliance, Flue Gas Desulphurisation (FGD) installation progress, water supply arrangements, and communications with the World Bank and African Development Bank.

This policy brief outlines best practices for enhancing the resilience of urban water supply and sanitation systems against climate shocks, emphasizing a combination of infrastructure robustness, redundancy, and decentralized options.

This research paper presents a high-resolution nationwide water supply model calibrated with 2010 data from Israel to determine optimal water extraction and pricing. The study suggests that desalination capacity was overbuilt and that current water economy legislation carries a significant welfare cost.

This research paper describes an integrated hydrology and water operations simulation model developed using the Water Evaluation and Planning (WEAP) platform to assess the impacts of climate change on water supply reliability in the Tuolumne and Merced River Basins of California.

This book chapter examines the Programme for Rural Water Supply and Sanitation (PAARSS) in Mozambique, analyzing how the integration of disaster risk reduction (DRR) and capacity-building into water and sanitation strategies can enhance community resilience in flood-prone regions.

This research paper analyzes how generic adaptive capacity is translated into climate change adaptation within the water supply and wastewater (WW) sector of the Stockholm region, utilizing organizational learning theories to define an organization's 'actual adaptation space'.

This case study describes a community-led pilot project initiated in 2021 to provide a consistent, piped water supply to Gangles, a rural ward in Leh, Ladakh, India. The project addressed extreme winter temperatures of -30 degrees Celsius and uneven terrain by implementing an insulated pipe distribution network and smart water management systems, ensuring a supply of 75 litres per person per day.

This fact sheet describes the hydrological modeling of the La Vieja river basin in Colombia using the Water Evaluation and Planning (WEAP) tool. The project, funded by USAID and running from July 2012 to June 2015, aimed to strengthen societal adaptation to climate change in the management of water resources in the Otún and La Vieja river basins.
