The EIB Advisory JASPERS has developed an Excel tool with the aim to support beneficiaries of small water & wastewater projects to complete a climate resilience assessment that is proportionate to the size of the projects. The Excel tool has been designed for the climate resilience assessment of small projects that need to comply with the climate proofing requirement of the Common Provisions Regulation Art. 73 point 2 (j).

The JASPERS checklist tool is intended for use as a support tool for stakeholders involved in project development and relevant environmental decision-making. It outlines a stepwise process for assessing and demonstrating project compliance with the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD). The EU Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC) (WFD) protects and seeks to improve the biological, physico-chemical, hydromorphological and chemical status of surface water bodies, and the chemical and quantitative status of ground water bodies. It has a strict no deterioration requirement, including in relation to water-dependent objectives in EU protected areas. The WFD also promotes sustainable water use based on the long-term protection of available water resources.
