Climate and Environment
Climate risk disrupts service delivery and increases operational costs across all infrastructure sectors. Countries investing in low-carbon and resilient infrastructure mitigate climate risks and reduce the impact of infrastructure on climate.
Countries turn to Castalia to implement Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions for infrastructure. We design innovative financing mechanisms and approaches for sustainable and low-carbon infrastructure. We support organizations and utilities in developing action and financing plans to make infrastructure resilient to natural events. Also, we support countries in implementing nature-based solutions for achieving service delivery goals in transport, energy, water, sanitation, and solid waste management.
