Resource Sustainability Lab
A guided tool for sustainable resource management in development projects. Map resources, assess sustainability, analyse risks, and build actionable plans for long-term impact in South Asian contexts.
Resource Mapping
Identify and catalogue all available resources for your development project. For each resource, note its name, current availability level, and a sustainability rating (1 = depleting fast, 5 = fully renewable or self-sustaining).
Sustainability Assessment
Score each mapped resource across four sustainability dimensions. Use the sliders to rate from 1 (poor) to 10 (excellent). Consider how each resource performs in terms of environmental impact, social equity, economic viability, and institutional capacity.
Add resources in the Resource Mapping phase first to begin the sustainability assessment.
Risk Analysis
Identify potential risks to resource sustainability. Consider depletion risks (overuse of groundwater), dependency risks (reliance on a single donor), political and institutional risks (change in government priorities), and climate vulnerabilities (erratic monsoon, droughts, floods) common in South Asian development contexts.

Sustainability Plan
Build an actionable sustainability plan with phased implementation. Define actions, assign responsible parties, set measurable targets and monitoring indicators. Phases: Immediate (0-3 months), Medium-term (3-12 months), and Long-term (1-3 years).
