This project aims to improve flood models and use information from past extreme rainfall events to create maps which illustrate future flood risk

This project aims to bridge the knowledge gap and increase the dialogue between cocoa and tomato growers and researchers in the Caribbean. It also seeks to establish a set of protocols that can be used to screen tropical plants for resilience to drought and heat stress and create models to help visualize the various ways that climate change could impact current crop production.

Belize’s economic growth is inherently linked to expansion of the tourism industry, yet the activities of this industry often result in habitat degradation, undermining the very ecosystems on which it depends. This project will assess the vulnerability of Belize’s tourism system to climate change, including the coastal ecosystems on which it depends, and examine how current policies serve to facilitate or hinder climate-compatible tourism development, based on healthy coastal ecosystems.

Very little is known about the potential impacts of climate change on Belize’s water resources, despite this being identified as a priority area of research for the country. This project will use modeling to assess the potential impacts of climate change on the supply and demand for water and water quality in Belize across different climate change and land use scenarios and in so doing, will determine the hydrographic areas most vulnerable to climate change.

In many Caribbean countries, national and sectoral level policies are lagging behind the already evident threats to development from climate change despite the strong efforts made at the international and community level to adapt. The Caribbean Natural Resources Institute (CANARI), in collaboration with the World Resource Institute (WRI) and the St. Lucia National Trust (SLNT) is implementing a project in St. Lucia and Trinidad and Tobago to increase civil society engagement in policy and institutional analysis for climate change adaptation.

African and developing country governments are increasingly calling for practical examples of how to advance climate

Journalists in East Africa face significant challenges to reporting on issues related to climate change including a l

This project aims to address the current impasse in the global climate negotiations through creation of a dialogue between climate policymakers, negotiators and international political scientists.

This project aims to provide support to the Republic of Nauru, as Chair of the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS), by providing funding for two key positions of Legal Adviser and Climate Change Adviser. In doing so, it is hoped that the Small Island Developing States (SIDS) will take a more active and influential role in climate negotiations, which will in turn provide them with a fair and equitable climate deal.

CDKN is collaborating with The CARIBSAVE Partnership to run a Caribbean Regional Research Call, as part of the CDKN’s long-term research stream.

The AGN Support Unit was established to provide the Group with strategic and policy guidance on the multilateral climate change process, technical and legal assistance on key negotiating issues, and coordination and administrative support.

The Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) has been commissioned by the UK Department for International Development (DFID) to communicate the findings of IPCC AR5 to decision-makers in developing countries.
