Integrating climate analysis into an impact assessment: why and how
Climate analysis is no longer an optional annex to an ESIA. In a few years, it has become a component required by the main DFIs, structured around two distinct areas: the greenhouse gas emissions that a project generates, and the vulnerability it presents to future climate impacts.

GHG emissions from tropical reservoirs: state of the science and G-res tool
A water reservoir is not climate-neutral. In tropical zones, submerged organic matter decomposes and releases methane. The question is no longer whether a reservoir emits, but how much, and how to demonstrate it to lenders increasingly attentive to the carbon footprint of hydroelectric projects.
Paris Alignment of DFIs: What the Developer Must Demonstrate
Lenders have committed to aligning their financing with the Paris Agreement. In practical terms, this commitment applies to each project under appraisal. The developer no longer faces a simple tick-box exercise. They must demonstrate, with supporting evidence, that their project is compatible with a low-carbon trajectory and resilient to climate change.
GHG assessment of an infrastructure project: boundaries, emission factors and reporting thresholds
Calculating a carbon footprint is one thing. Producing a GHG assessment that holds up under DFI review is another. Between the two lie a reporting threshold, boundaries to define and a construction phase where almost nothing is yet measured.
