Climate: Results-Based Financing

Explores the integration of carbon financing into WASH initiatives, highlighting the potential for generating financial resources, enhancing project sustainability, and contributing to global climate goals through practical case studies and best practices.

Provides a concise summary of the Carbon Credits for WASH Interventions Learning Paper. This summary aims to highlight key points and takeaways, serving as an introduction to the broader discussions and conclusions detailed in the full document.

This comprehensive analysis led by MWA members UC Boulder and WaterAid, delves into the intersection of climate finance mechanisms and sustainable water management, offering insights into large-scale co-benefits and actionable recommendations for stakeholders.

I provide expert guidance on WASH and WRIM carbon financing, helping with project design, regulatory compliance, and best practices while supporting sustainable development initiatives. My advice is detailed and practical, though not a replacement for professional legal or financial advice.

Explore innovative research and practical applications for enhancing global water security, featuring presentations by leading experts like Evan Thomas and Jason Lopez. Supported by the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, this session includes a dynamic panel discussion on leveraging carbon finance for sustainable water solutions, offering attendees valuable insights and actionable strategies.

Presentation on Carbon Credits for Safe Water. Serves as a reference for the full learning paper. 

Water insecurity is increasing globally as one of the first perceivable effects of climate change. While water management is typically a local challenge, climate finance mechanisms offer the potential to switch climate-damaging capital toward climate reparative water infrastructure and create a sustainable, performance-based funding stream to incentivize safe water services globally.

Applicable to projects and programmes that seek to introduce zero or low GHG water purification systems to provide safe drinking water, this methodology quantifies GHG emissions reductions displaced through decentralised thermal energy technologies.

• SAFE DRINKING WATER SUPPLY ER TOOL CWS: Emissions Reduction (ER) calculation tool for community water supply (CWS) projects
• SAFE DRINKING WATER SUPPLY ER TOOL HWT: ER calculation tool for household level water treatment (HWT) technologies

This survey should be adapted and edited according to the needs of the project.

This Methodology document is to enable A/R activities to quantify and certify emissions sequestration impacts. In turn this allows the Project to access Gold Standard VERs as per the Gold Standard Emissions Reduction and Sequestration Product Requirements.
