EPHI’s Lead Service Line Replacement Cost Calculator joins global tools in the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) Catalogue, advancing equitable, climate-resilient, and nature-positive infrastructure planning.
Environmental & Public Health International (EPHI) announced that its United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)-recognized Lead Service Line Replacement Cost Calculator (LSLRCC) has been featured in the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) Tools Catalogue as a resource supporting climate-resilient drinking water infrastructure. TNFD provides decision-makers in business and finance with information on nature-related risks and opportunities.
The LSLRCC is a free, multilingual, environmental justice-focused tool that supports equitable and cost-effective planning for lead service line replacement programs. It enables utilities, Tribal and local governments, and policymakers to estimate replacement costs, prioritize disadvantaged communities, and plan climate-resilient water infrastructure investments aligned with public health and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
This listing places the tool alongside trusted resources from leading organizations including the United Nations Environment Programme World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC), the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), and the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP).
“Being listed among trusted global tools in the TNFD Catalogue reflects our commitment to transparency, sustainability, and equity in climate-adaptive public health infrastructure,” said Anthony Ross, Founder of EPHI. “This recognition helps bridge environmental policy, public health, and climate finance, areas that must work together to protect communities and ecosystems.”
Recognized by global climate action leaders including UNEP, the LSLRCC advances SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), and SDG 13 (Climate Action).
