Abstract
The toolkit contains three modules covering the major climate entry points (i.e., alignment with climate policies; incorporation of climate considerations in the project selection; and appraisal of climate effects in the project’s economics and financing), followed by a fourth module that provides climate-related key performance indicators (KPIs) applicable to road projects. Every module is divided into steps, outlining the logical order of the process, that are implemented using specific tools. The tools contained in this toolkit have different formats, depending on the task they serve, and many are accompanied by reference libraries. The toolkit also provides ready-to-use reporting templates to assist in the implementation of the process and the documentation of results. Module 1 presents a two-step process, with tools to assist users with mapping climate policies, and screening projects’ alignments with such policies, to identify areas where corrective actions may be needed. Module 2 contains five steps designed to assist users in assessing climate risks, defining strategies to reduce them, estimating the carbon footprints of projects at a preliminary stage, and designing strategies for climate mitigation actions. Module 3, which provides a two-step approach (comprising three tools) to guide users on how to prioritize climate strategies and check their economic soundness. Module 4 presents a set of key performance indicators (KPIs) for all the above processes that are specific to road projects and are meant to serve as entry points for the relevant activities.

Publication Climate Toolkits for Infrastructure PPPs - Hydropower Sector(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2023-05-17)This toolkit contains a set of tools covering the major climate entry points (identification of risks, incorporation of climate considerations in the project’s selection, and appraisal of climate effects in the project’s economics). It uses as inputs preliminary project data, readily available climate-related resources, and tools produced by the World Bank Group and international organizations. The outcome should be a project-specific collection of considerations that will need to be further evaluated and quantified during the subsequent phases of implementation of the Umbrella Toolkit. The toolkit is divided into five modules: project alignment with climate policies, assess climate risk and plan adaptation actions), assess GHG emissions and plan climate mitigation strategies, climate considerations for assessing project’s economics and finances) guides users in checking climate strategies’ economic soundness and putting them into action, and key performance indicators for climate-resilient and sustainable hydropower).Publication Climate Toolkits for Infrastructure PPPs - Water Production and Treatment Sector(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2023-05-17)This toolkit contains a set of tools covering the major climate entry points (identification of risks, incorporation of climate considerations in the project selection, and appraisal of climate effects in the project’s economics). Its inputs are preliminary project data as well as readily available climate-related resources and tools produced by the World Bank Group and other international organizations. The outcome should be a project-specific collection of considerations that will need to be further evaluated and quantified in the subsequent phases of project implementation, as well as an improved understanding of the potential needs for advisory services. The toolkit is divided into five modules: module 1 explains the ramifications of the Paris Agreement, national adaptation plans, and other international treaties and national policies for the planning of new water production and treatment infrastructure, and helps users understand what is necessary to ensure a project’s alignment with such frameworks. Module 2 presents a methodology for appraising greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with bulk water infrastructure and identifying mitigation solutions. This is done by identifying the various linkages between the water and energy sectors and understanding the potential for energy savings through appropriate interventions. Module 3 proposes a framework for assessing climate risk and managing climate uncertainty in the planning decisions of water projects. This includes understanding the impacts of climate threats on the availability of water resources and the operations of water systems and setting up adaptation strategies that can perform better given a highly uncertain future. Module 4 guides preliminary economic appraisals of water projects and helps planners recognize how climate considerations may impact the project’s cost-benefit analysis (CBA) and its value for money (VfM) as a PPP. Module 5 proposes a set of output requirements in the form of key performance indicators (KPIs) that can be embedded in the PPP contracts to ensure compliance with the climate objectives and accountability of performance.Publication Climate Toolkits for Infrastructure PPPs(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2022)The time for action to build a better future and green recovery has never been stronger as we navigate the uncertainty of a world attempting to manage its way out of a triple crisis: debt sustainability, climate change, and pandemic. The fiscal constraints of governments across the globe open the door to new opportunities and challenges to crowd in private sector solutions, innovation, and finance to create new solutions and pathways to meet Paris Agreement goals on climate change. Participation of the private sector in climate-smart investments and infrastructure is critical and public-private partnerships (PPPs) are among the key solutions. PPPs are critical because the public sector alone will not be able to fill in the infrastructure gap without mobilizing private sector expertise, innovative thinking, investment capacity, and finance. PPPs can be a challenge though, because climate change creates uncertainty and it is hard to play with uncertain moving pieces within the framework of PPPs, which require a certain degree of predictability to attract investment and finance. This toolkit aims to address this precise challenge by embedding a climate lens and approach into upstream PPP advisory work and structuring. If structured correctly, PPPs can increase climate resilience offering innovative solutions to address both mitigation and adaptation challenges. PPPs are able to provide well-informed and well-balanced risk allocation between partners offering long-term visibility and stability for the duration of a contract (often 25 or 30 years, sometimes even more), compensating climate change uncertainty through contractual predictability.Publication Climate Toolkits for Infrastructure PPPs - Renewables Sector(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2023-05-17)This document is intended for use by government agencies in emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs), in order to assist them in incorporating climate-related risks and opportunities in the preliminary preparation stages of renewable energy (solar and wind) infrastructure projects procured through PPPs. It complements the World Bank Group’s Climate Toolkits for Infrastructure PPPs (CTIP3)2(the “Umbrella Toolkit”) by providing step-by-step instructions on how to apply its provisions to renewable energy specific PPPs. It is intended to familiarize public sector non-expert users with the potential effects of climate change on renewable energy projects—and the resulting considerations for climate mitigation, adaptation and resilience—so they can be adequately appraised as early as possible when pursuing such projects. As such, this toolkit aims to help users understand how climate change could affect—or be affected by—their renewable energy project, the potential consequences, and what measures can be taken to alleviate impacts. Note that this toolkit is not intended for the design to structuring and tendering phases, but should be consulted as a complementary tool to the Umbrella Toolkit.Publication Climate Toolkits for Infrastructure PPPs - ICT Sector(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2023-05-17)This toolkit contains a set of tools covering the major climate entry points (identification of risks, incorporation of climate considerations in the project selection, and appraisal of climate effects in the project’s economics), using as inputs the preliminary project data as well as readily available climate-related resources. This step-by-step process gradually builds up a project-specific collection of considerations that will need to be further evaluated and quantified in the subsequent phases, as well as an improved understanding of the potential needs for advisory services. The toolkit is divided into five modules: module 1 assists users with mapping climate policies and assessing projects against such policies to identify areas where a revision of plans may be required. Module 2 provides a simplified methodology for the preliminary life cycle assessment (LCA) of the project’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at a preliminary stage based on the project’s typology and publicly available data. Module 3 provides practical guidance to agencies to document, at a preliminary stage, which climate risks could affect a project, what their impact could be, and which adaptation measures might be applicable. Further guidance and more detailed instructions can be found in the Umbrella Toolkit. Module 4 provides tools to qualitatively estimate the impacts of climate considerations on the costs, benefits, and VfM of an ICT infrastructure project. Module 5 proposes a set of output requirements in the form of key performance indicators (KPIs) that can be embedded in the PPP contracts to ensure compliance with the climate objectives that are specific to ICT projects.

Publication Supporting Youth at Risk(World Bank, Washington, DC, 2008)The World Bank has produced this policy Toolkit in response to a growing demand from our government clients and partners for advice on how to create and implement effective policies for at-risk youth. The author has highlighted 22 policies (six core policies, nine promising policies, and seven general policies) that have been effective in addressing the following five key risk areas for young people around the world: (i) youth unemployment, underemployment, and lack of formal sector employment; (ii) early school leaving; (iii) risky sexual behavior leading to early childbearing and HIV/AIDS; (iv) crime and violence; and (v) substance abuse. The objective of this Toolkit is to serve as a practical guide for policy makers in middle-income countries as well as professionals working within the area of youth development on how to develop and implement an effective policy portfolio to foster healthy and positive youth development.Publication Europe and Central Asia Economic Update, Fall 2024: Better Education for Stronger Growth(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-10-17)Economic growth in Europe and Central Asia (ECA) is likely to moderate from 3.5 percent in 2023 to 3.3 percent this year. This is significantly weaker than the 4.1 percent average growth in 2000-19. Growth this year is driven by expansionary fiscal policies and strong private consumption. External demand is less favorable because of weak economic expansion in major trading partners, like the European Union. Growth is likely to slow further in 2025, mostly because of the easing of expansion in the Russian Federation and Turkiye. This Europe and Central Asia Economic Update calls for a major overhaul of education systems across the region, particularly higher education, to unleash the talent needed to reinvigorate growth and boost convergence with high-income countries. Universities in the region suffer from poor management, outdated curricula, and inadequate funding and infrastructure. A mismatch between graduates' skills and the skills employers are seeking leads to wasted potential and contributes to the region's brain drain. Reversing the decline in the quality of education will require prioritizing improvements in teacher training, updated curricula, and investment in educational infrastructure. In higher education, reforms are needed to consolidate university systems, integrate them with research centers, and provide reskilling opportunities for adult workers.Publication State and Trends of Carbon Pricing 2024(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-05-21)This report provides an up-to-date overview of existing and emerging carbon pricing instruments around the world, including international, national, and subnational initiatives. It also investigates trends surrounding the development and implementation of carbon pricing instruments and some of the drivers seen over the past year. Specifically, this report covers carbon taxes, emissions trading systems (ETSs), and crediting mechanisms. Key topics covered in the 2024 report include uptake of ETSs and carbon taxes in low- and middle- income economies, sectoral coverage of ETSs and carbon taxes, and the use of crediting mechanisms as part of the policy mix.Publication Issues and Options for Improving Engagement between the World Bank and Civil Society Organizations(Washington, DC, 2005-03-01)The purpose of this paper is to assess the World Bank's recent relations with civil society organizations (CSOs), that is, nongovernmental organizations and not-for-profit organizations, and to propose options for promoting more effective civic engagement in Bank-supported activities and managing associated risks in the future. The analysis in this paper points to four main issues and challenges for the Bank as it seeks to achieve more constructive and effective engagement with CSOs in the future: 1) Promoting best practices for civic engagement; 2) Closing the gap between expectations, policy and practice; 3) Adapting to changes in global and national civil society; and 4) Achieving greater Bank-wide coherence and accountability. To attain these objectives, the report proposes ten priority actions: Establishing new global mechanisms for Bank-CSO engagement to help promote mutual understanding and cooperation; establish a Bank-wide advisory service/focal point for consultations and feedback; piloting a new Bank-wide monitoring and evaluation system for civic engagement; Conduct a review of Bank funds available for civil society engagement in operations and policy dialogue, and explore possible realignment or restructuring. reviewing the Bank's procurement framework; instituting an integrated learning program for Bank staff and member governments as well as capacity-building for CSOs on how to work effectively with the Bank and its member governments; holding regular meetings of senior management and periodically with the Board to review Bank/civil society relations; developing and issuing new guidelines for Bank staff on the institution's approach, best practices, and a framework for engagement with CSOs; emphasizing the importance of civil society engagement in preparing Country Assistance Strategies (CAS) as well as in CAS monitoring and evaluation; and developing tools for analytical mapping of civil society.Publication State and Trends of Carbon Pricing: International Carbon Markets 2024(Washington, DC: World Bank, 2024-09-09)Well-designed, high integrity carbon markets can play a pivotal role in financing climate action in developing countries. However, several critical bottlenecks impede the growth of these markets. The 2024 State and Trends of International Carbon Markets report evaluates the progress made in addressing these bottlenecks, highlights the urgency of these issues, and proposes recommendations to ensure that carbon markets reach their full potential.
