The Climate Proofing Toolkit is a set of steps, tasks and tools to provide guidance to policymakers, planners, practitioners, engineers and utility managers to ensure that the potential climate change impacts are factored in the design, construction, location and operation of current and future basic urban infrastructure, with a focus on water and sanitation. Thus, as a toolkit, it does not propose a one-size-fits-all solution.

Riverbank Filtration is a water provision solution that uses riverbank soil as a natural filter. Having implemented more than 30 units in Egypt, UN-Habitat supported the drafting of the “Guideline on Riverbank Filtration in Egypt” to support effective and accurate institutionalization of the technology in the Egyptian codes and practices. The guideline supports planning, site selection, designing, construction, monitoring and maintenance of RBF units in Egypt.
