This project will undertake a study on the vulnerability of the energy sector to the impacts of climate change in Tajikistan and develop an innovative methodology for this process. It will add a regional overview to highlight the trans-boundary issues. The studies will assess Climate Risk Assessment of Energy Infrastructure, Climate Risk Mitigation and Adaptation and Cost-Benefit Analysis of the Climate Risk Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies.

Pakistan’s weather is becoming increasingly volatile, with climate-related disasters on the rise. To try and prepare the nation ahead of future events, the Punjab Provincial Disaster Management Authority has asked CDKN to help it incorporate ‘climate resiliency’ into its post-disaster reconstruction efforts.

The Ethiopian Environmental Protection Agency (through DFID Ethiopia) asked CDKN to provide procurement and programme management services to enable the delivery of IPLAN24.

Public housing and infrastructure developments across rural and semi-urbanised India are rarely designed to be ‘climate compatible’. Climate-compatible development addresses the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, use fewer resources and make buildings that can withstand weather-related disasters.

The Southern African Power Pool’s (SAPP) has planned an integrated expansion which includes more than 6,300 MW of new large scale hydropower with at least another 6,500MW under discussion within the Zambezi River Basin. CDKN is supporting research that examines the interaction between climate change, irrigation and hydropower in the Basin.

The objective of this project was to integrate adaptation into climate change in city planning and in the management of key economic sectors.

World Watch Institute provides the Renewable Energy Forum, initiative that seeks participation in topics such as Curr

There is now more opportunity than ever to rapidly advance sustainable energy in Central America. , the Worldwatch Institute (WI) will establish a participatory dialogue on renewable energy in seven countries of the Central American Integration System (SICA) region (Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama).

The Zambezi River Basin is the continent’s most important shared river basin due to the large number of riparian states and the extent of availability and dependence on water for development. Read more about this project which maps the central and lower regions of the Basin which are highly vulnerable to climate change.

CDKN provided technical support to the Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and the African Group of Negotiators (AGN) at the 17th Conference of the Parties (COP-17). Accounting for suppressed demand means that development projects, including those that provide or extend basic services to the poor, can claim more carbon credits and generate greater carbon finance revenue.

CDKN is supporting the Government of Nepal (GoN) to calculate the economic cost of climate change in Nepal and identify a climate compatible development pathway to address the combined risks of climate change over time.

As a Least Developed Country (LDC), which is highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change, Nepal has a high stake in the outcome of the UNFCCC negotiations. CDKN is supporting the Government of Nepal to ensure its participation in the UNFCCC is strategic and delivers results for Nepal.
