The Climate and Equalities Tool is a simple, high-level tool to help you embed climate and equalities considerations early in your programme design. Climate outcomes are assessed alongside an Equalities Impact Assessment (EqIA). Adhering to the Public Sector Equality Duty of the Equality Act 2010 is a statutory requirement and completing an EqIA is the best way to comply with these requirements.
The Tool is designed to be applicable to all types of projects, policies and programmes. The Tool supports you to address the potential harms of projects and strengthen the good outcomes, based on evidence and stakeholder feedback.
The Climate & Equalities tool was developed by staff at the Greater London Authority and the Centre for Climate Change and Social Transformations. The tool has been provided by the GLA and CAST, but any programmes or policies it is used for are the responsibility of the organisation running them.
