EPHI Advances Climate Technology Deployment Through WIPO GREEN Listing of Drinking Water Infrastructure Tool

Technology listing supports United Nations climate action through innovation and scalable implementation.

Press Release

Chicago, Illinois – December 19, 2025
Environmental & Public Health International® (EPHI) announced that its Lead Service Line Replacement Cost Calculator® (LSLRCC) has been listed on WIPO GREEN, the global sustainable technology platform hosted by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), a specialized agency of the United Nations.

The listing situates the LSLRCC within the United Nations climate technology ecosystem, which supports the identification, dissemination, and deployment of practical solutions that advance climate action, public health protection, and sustainable infrastructure development.

Climate Innovation and Technology Transfer

The Lead Service Line Replacement Cost Calculator is designed as an applied innovation that supports real-world deployment of climate-resilient drinking water solutions. By making cost modeling transparent, customizable, and freely accessible, the tool lowers barriers to adoption and enables replication across jurisdictions.

Its listing on WIPO GREEN highlights the role of digital decision-support technologies in advancing climate action by facilitating technology transfer, knowledge sharing, and implementation-ready planning across diverse geographic and institutional settings.

WIPO GREEN and Climate Technology Collaboration

WIPO GREEN functions as a global innovation marketplace designed to increase the visibility and uptake of climate-relevant technologies by connecting solution providers with users, partners, and facilitators. Listing the LSLRCC on the platform situates drinking water infrastructure planning within broader climate technology collaboration efforts supported by the international intellectual property system.

The inclusion highlights the role of decision-support tools in strengthening climate-resilient infrastructure outcomes alongside physical technologies and capital investments.

Climate Innovation and Practical Deployment

Climate technologies increasingly include digital planning tools that help governments and utilities move from policy goals to implementation. In the drinking water sector, lead service line replacement represents a critical intersection of public health protection, infrastructure renewal, and climate resilience.

The LSLRCC supports these efforts by providing a practical modeling resource that can be applied across jurisdictions to inform planning, investment prioritization, and readiness for implementation.

Public Health, Equity, and Scalable Solutions

Lead exposure continues to affect communities disproportionately, reinforcing existing health and infrastructure disparities. By expanding access to consistent cost modeling and planning information, the LSLRCC supports more inclusive infrastructure decision-making and advances equitable climate and development outcomes.

“WIPO GREEN helps connect practical climate solutions with the people working to apply them,” said Anthony Ross, founder of Environmental & Public Health International. “Including the LSLRCC supports broader collaboration around climate-resilient drinking water planning.”
