Climate adaptation and drinking water infrastructure planning tool supporting Nationally Determined Contributions under the Paris Agreement.
Press Release
Chicago, Illinois – December 18, 2025
Environmental & Public Health International® (EPHI) announced that its Lead Service Line Replacement Cost Calculator® (LSLRCC) has been listed in the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) Partnership Knowledge Portal as a Good Practice. The listing recognizes the tool’s role in supporting climate adaptation planning, resilient drinking water infrastructure, and implementation of Nationally Determined Contributions under the Paris Agreement.
United Nations Climate Implementation Platform
The NDC Partnership is a global coalition of countries and institutions supporting governments in translating climate commitments into actionable policies, programs, and investments. Inclusion in the Partnership’s curated Good Practice Database reflects the LSLRCC’s relevance for practical planning and implementation by governments and their partners.
Climate Adaptation and Resilient Drinking Water Infrastructure
The LSLRCC is a free, multilingual planning tool designed to help Tribal and local governments estimate the cost of replacing lead service lines and evaluate infrastructure investment needs. By enabling communities to model future cost risks and replacement scenarios, the tool supports climate-resilient drinking water planning while advancing public health protection and environmental justice.
Infrastructure Planning, Financing, and Risk Assessment
Anonymous usage analytics indicate that billions of dollars in potential lead service line replacement costs have already been modeled through the calculator, supporting capital planning, funding applications, and long-term infrastructure investment strategies.
Operational Tools for National and Subnational NDC Implementation
The NDC Partnership Knowledge Portal serves governments, development partners, and implementing institutions seeking proven tools to deliver climate adaptation and mitigation priorities. Inclusion of the LSLRCC reflects its operational relevance for national and subnational climate action.
“Nationally Determined Contributions are the central framework through which countries translate climate ambition into action,” said Anthony Ross, Founder and Director of Environmental & Public Health International. “Effective implementation depends on practical planning tools that support investment decisions, infrastructure delivery, and measurable outcomes.”
