The projects aims to provide a regional model for the integration of climate change information into risk reduction and rural development planning at the landscape scale that takes stakeholder perceptions, aspiration, and constraints more fully into account while bringing DRR and CCA processes into closer interaction within institutional and policy spaces.

This researches the institutional barriers and opportunities in achieving convergence of DRR and CCA in the context of development, poverty and vulnerability reduction.

This project studied the systemic factors contributing to flood resilience under changing climate conditions in Gorakhpur district. It sets to identify practical measures for integrating disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA) into planning.

Taking the examples of flash floods in Leh (2010) and Bramer (2006) districts in India, the project examines the policy positions adopted by district planners post disaster, and assesses the extent to which these integrate disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA) concerns into long term recovery and development planning.

Understanding food system climate resilience and developing practical indicators for communities, development practitioners and policy-makers.

This research develops an innovative set of strategies, including an early heat-health warning system, to be implemented by local government officials in the city of Ahmedabad, in Gujarat state, India.

This project investigates the coping strategies developed by the families in rural areas in the Department of Atlántico, Colombia, which were affected by the hard winter, or rainy season, that hit Colombia in the last year.

The Global Islands’ Vulnerability Research, Adaptation, Policy and Development (GIVRAPD) project will integrate scientific and local knowledge from four comparative ‘learning study’ sites in the Caribbean and the Indian Ocean by using a common, community-based vulnerability assessment (CBVA) framework.

CDKN helps developing countries to design and deliver climate compatible development. When decision makers in government, business and civil society speak to us about their aims and needs, they often ask about ‘best practice’ in other countries or, indeed, mistakes to avoid.

With CDKN’s support, Panos South Asia launched the South Asia Climate Change Award (SACCA) Fellows Programme to improve media coverage and public debate around climate and development in South Asia.

The International Energy Agency’s (IEA) estimates that by 2030 one billion people in sub-Saharan Africa will depend on biomass as their main energy source. Currently over 80% of people in sub-Saharann Africa depend on solid fuels such as charcoal and firewood– more than any other region in the world. CDKN is supporting the African Clean Cooking Initiative (ACCI), which is designed to support a market-driven approach to increase the use of clean cook stoves in Africa through addressing key market barriers.

This project aims to develop and deliver a set of training materials and workshops aimed at developing the knowledge and skills of the least developed and most climate vulnerable country negotiators.
