This case study used the Peri-Urban Resilient Ecosystems Tool to support integrated and inclusive climate change planning in Windhoek, Namibia.
Estimating the resource recovery potential of waste streams in Kampala, Uganda
Discover how to apply a simple material flow analysis approach to track the transformation of waste streams into resource recovery products, such as biogas and solid fuel through this case study in Kampala, Uganda. The results of this approach can be used to encourage more sustainable urban sanitation and waste management systems.
Using PURE to support participatory planning in Freedom Square in Gobabis, Namibia
This case study used the Peri-Urban Resilient Ecosystems Tool to support participatory planning Freedom Square in Gobabis, Namibia.
EGESTABASE
Learn about EGESTABASE, an emerging online platform that aims to comprehensively map scientific evidence on the recovery of nutrients from human excreta and municipal wastewater for reuse in agriculture. The online platform helps you discover different innovative approaches and studies that exist, and use this evidence to inform decision-making processes.
Using B.Green to create pollinator highways in Tallinn
As part of the B.Green project this case study used the B.Green handbook to create a pollinator highway
B.Green Handbook
The B.Green project aims to develop a model for digital and participatory urban planning that promotes the pre-planning of multifunctional green infrastructure solutions in the Baltic Sea region.
Using REVAMP and local collaboration to explore waste management scenarios in Chía, Colombia
Discover how REVAMP was used to find out how to make Chía’s waste management more effective and at the same time contribute to a range of sustainable development priorities.
Resource Value Mapping (REVAMP) Tool
This tool uses data on waste streams to estimate total resources and reuse potential in a city's wastewater, enabling city planners and policymakers to better make decisions on urban waste management.
GCRF Peri-Urban Resilient Ecosystems (PURE) Tool
PURE supported the development of just and representative climate resilient urban strategies in dryland Windhoek, Namibia, with the aim to enhance future health, wellbeing and economic development.
