Yale University–Led Platform Lists Lead Service Line Replacement Cost Calculator for Climate Adaptation
Listing links SDG 6 and SDG 13 and supports Paris Agreement-aligned climate adaptation and transparency objectives.
Press Release
Chicago, Illinois – December 22, 2025
Environmental & Public Health International® (EPHI) announced that its Lead Service Line Replacement Cost Calculator® (LSLRCC) has been listed on the Green Chemistry for Sustainability Platform, a global sustainability tools and knowledge initiative led by Yale University’s Center for Green Chemistry and Green Engineering.
The listing recognizes lead service line replacement planning as a climate adaptation and safe drinking water equity activity, situating drinking water infrastructure within internationally recognized sustainability, public health, and climate resilience frameworks.
Climate Adaptation and Safe Drinking Water Infrastructure
The Green Chemistry for Sustainability Platform connects tools and metrics that advance sustainable systems across health, environment, and industry. Inclusion of the LSLRCC reflects growing international recognition that drinking water systems are climate-sensitive infrastructure requiring transparent, data-driven planning to address increasing climate risks.
Alignment with the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals
The listing links the LSLRCC to United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) and Sustainable Development Goal 13 (Climate Action). This positioning is consistent with the tool’s existing inclusion on the UNFCCC Adaptation Knowledge Platform, where lead service line replacement planning is recognized as a climate adaptation and resilience activity.
Through standardized cost modeling and scenario analysis, the LSLRCC supports transparent, measurable planning outputs aligned with Paris Agreement adaptation priorities, including climate resilience, disaster risk reduction, and implementation-focused infrastructure planning.
Platform Leadership and Global Sustainability Collaboration
The Green Chemistry for Sustainability Platform is led by Yale University’s Center for Green Chemistry and Green Engineering in partnership with the American Chemical Society Green Chemistry Institute and Beyond Benign, with support from the United Nations Industrial Development Organization and the Global Environment Facility.
“The Green Chemistry for Sustainability Platform plays an important role in connecting practical planning tools with global sustainability and climate frameworks,” said Anthony Ross, Founder and Director of Environmental & Public Health International. “Its leadership by Yale University and its UN-supported partnerships strengthen the credibility and global relevance of tools that advance safe drinking water, climate adaptation, and environmental equity.”
