GCA developed the Climate Resilient Infrastructure Handbook in 2021 with support from the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management of the Netherlands and in close partnership with the World Bank Group (WBG), the African Development Bank (AfDB), Asian Development Bank (ADB), European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), Global Infrastructure Facility (GIF), Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB), Public-Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility (PPIAF) of the WBG, and UNOPS.

The Handbook for Climate Resilient Infrastructure Officer (CRIO) is a component of the Knowledge Module on PPPs for Climate-Resilient Infrastructure and aims to provide tools and knowledge on how to integrate climate resilience throughout the PPP project cycle. The Climate Resilient Infrastructure Handbook has been revised in 2025 to provide infrastructure and PPP practitioners with the most up-to-date guidance, tools, and best practices for integrating climate resilience into all stages of the infrastructure lifecycle, from planning and design to financing, construction, and operation. This initiative, developed by the GCA in partnership with the International Coalition for Sustainable Infrastructure (ICSI), has also benefited from strategic direction and technical inputs from Multilateral Development Banks and partner organizations. GCA would like to thank all the partners, staff, and others that have collaborated to produce the Knowledge Module on PPPs for Climate-Resilient Infrastructure and the development of this Handbook.
