Masterclass on Climate-Resilient Public-Private Partnerships – Training Materials
To scale climate-resilient infrastructure globally, GCA developed the Climate-Resilient Infrastructure Knowledge Module, which includes the Climate-Resilient Infrastructure Officers (CRIO) Handbook, practical Masterclasses, and CRIO Certification programs. These initiatives bridge the gap between theory and implementation by providing hands-on training and recognized professional credentials for infrastructure practitioners. The Masterclass series has expanded globally, reaching stakeholders from ministries, PPP units, infrastructure agencies, the private sector, and academia. The program has demonstrated that Masterclasses are highly effective in creating dialogue between public and private actors, aligning incentives, and improving the bankability of resilient infrastructure projects while strengthening institutional capacity to integrate resilience into infrastructure planning and operations.

Technical Guidelines for Climate-informed Public-Private Partnerships along the Abidjan Lagos Corridor
Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) have a critical role to play in delivering climate-resilient infrastructure, particularly for long-term regional transport investments exposed to growing climate risks. This report, Technical Guidelines for Climate-Informed Public-Private Partnerships along the Abidjan - Lagos Corridor, developed by the Global Center on Adaptation through the Africa Adaptation Acceleration Program (AAAP), provides a detailed analysis of climate risks and practical adaptation options to support governments and financial partners in developing climate-informed PPPs throughout the design and implementation phases. The report explores how resilience measures, including their costs and benefits, can be integrated into PPP frameworks and technical specifications over the project lifecycle.
