The CDS provides a single point of access to a wide range of quality-assured climate datasets distributed in the cloud. CDS datasets include observations, historical climate data records, estimates of Essential Climate Variables (ECVs) derived from Earth observations, global and regional climate reanalyses of past observations, seasonal forecasts and climate projections. Access to data is open, free and unrestricted.

In an effort to serve as a 'one stop shop' for climate-related information, data, and tools, the World Bank created the Climate Change Knowledge Portal (or CCKP). The Portal provides an online tool for access to comprehensive global, regional, and country data related to climate change and development.

This handbook attempts to cover a broad spectrum of topics involved with developing and financing an LNG project, covering in depth the considerations for an LNG export project and development of a diverse domestic market. The book also addresses LNG import projects for local LNG sales as an alternative to country-to-country pipelines. We discuss the decisions that need to be made and the lenses through which to view the factors leading to these decisions.

Adapting to Climate change: the role of public procurement, Greater London Authority (GLA) September 2009 - The study looks specifically at the role of public procurement with regard to climate change adaptation. It considers specifically (i) the process of embedding climate change adaptation into procurement; and (ii) the associated legal case and the economic costs and benefits.

Climate Resilience Design Guidelines (CRG), New York Port Authority (updated June 2018) – The guidelines recommend to integrate the CRG criteria early into the project delivery process and in project documents, including in (i) the project proposal; (ii) the attachment for consultant services; (iii) design criteria/performance criteria/basis of design documents; as well as (iv) the requirements and provisions for work.

Sustainable Procurement Platform, managed by ICLEI (Local Governments for Sustainability) - Provides up to date news, case studies, events, tools and guidance as well as links to relevant EU laws and policies and more on sustainable procurement from across the world.

The Environmental and Social Framework (ESF) enables the World Bank and Borrowers to better manage environmental and social risks of projects and to improve development outcomes. It was launched on October 1, 2018.

Physical infrastructure at ports and port activities may be highly vulnerable to changes in climate. For instance, the risks could manifest through changes in the level or patterns of shipping, increased flooding affecting movements within ports and causing damage to goods stored, reduced navigability of access channels and business interruption. Some ports will also see opportunities as a result of climate change. A port’s reputation for reliability is key to its success, so ports that are more resilient to disruption from climate events should fare better.

Hydropower projects may be highly sensitive to climate change impacts. Water flows used by a project may be affected not only by changes in the hydrologic cycle, but also by climate related changes in the upstream water use, such as increased use of water for human consumption, agriculture, industry, or biodiversity maintenance. At the same time, the demand for electricity may also change due to climate change effects, such as increased temperatures.

This report presents the outcomes of a study analyzing the potential risks from climate change for the Khimti 1 run of the river hydro-electric power scheme in Nepal, owned and operated by the Himal Power Ltd (HPL). The risk analyses have assessed (within the limitations of the available information) how variability in current climate conditions together with future climate change can affect HPL’s operations and have impacts for the local communities.
