Press Release
Chicago, Illinois – December 9, 2025
Environmental & Public Health International® (EPHI) announced that its Lead Service Line Replacement Cost Calculator® (LSLRCC) has been listed in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Partnership Platform as a WHO- and UNEP-aligned clean water equity tool.
The listing recognizes the LSLRCC’s contribution to equitable, evidence-based planning for safe drinking water and its support for SDG 6 Clean Water and Sanitation.
Role Within the United Nations SDG Partnership Platform
Within the United Nations SDG Partnership Platform, the LSLRCC functions as a free, multilingual, climate-adaptive planning resource that strengthens national and local capacity for safe drinking water infrastructure.
The tool supports governments, utilities, Indigenous Peoples, and local communities in estimating lead service line replacement costs, evaluating policy and investment options, and informing evidence-based resource planning. Its inclusion on the platform reflects alignment with WHO guidance on water safety and UNEP priorities for resilient infrastructure, climate adaptation, and public health protection.
Climate Resilience, Safe Drinking Water Equity, and SDG Support
The LSLRCC advances safe drinking water equity and climate-resilience by helping communities plan for climate-driven risks to drinking water systems.
By strengthening local planning capacity and supporting evidence-based investment decisions, the tool contributes to SDG 6 Clean Water and Sanitation and reinforces progress toward SDG 13 Climate Action, SDG 11 Sustainable Cities and Communities, and SDG 3 Good Health and Well-Being.
Stakeholder Engagement and Global Partnership Informed by UNEA 7 Participation
EPHI’s listing follows active engagement with UN processes, including participation in UNEA 7 activities and consultations through the Global Major Groups and Stakeholders Forum.
The organization continues to collaborate with UN entities, practitioners, and community partners to advance practical, implementation-focused approaches that strengthen environmental governance and public health outcomes.
“The United Nations SDG Partnership Platform is one of the most effective engines for global cooperation. It brings together partners who are serious about real progress. EPHI is proud to contribute to that collective effort,” said Anthony Ross, Director of Environmental & Public Health International.
