The World Resources Institute (WRI) is working to clarify the issues of adaptation and equity in Intended Nationally Determined Contributions for developing countries, via in-country support to Ethiopia and Colombia, and the production of a working paper providing guidance to developing countries on adaptation.

The Institute for Sustainable Development and International Relations (IDDRI) is hosting and facilitating four bi-annual informal dialogues, aimed at providing a forum for informal discussion on UNFCCC climate negotiations among LAC countries.

CDKN is supporting the LDC Group, via IIED, to provide legal, technical and strategic advice to the LDC Group Chair and core team to help them prepare for, participate in and influence the negotiations.

With the support of CDKN, this project joined the efforts of the Government and created the framework for Colombia’s climate financing strategy.

Peru’s high rate of economic growth has led to a substantial increase in total energy consumption, which is expected to continue to rise in the future. In the short term, this could lead to potential deficits in electricity supply as generation capacity struggles to keep pace with demand. This poses a danger to economic growth and business competitiveness if shortages lead to operational disruptions or additional costs to guarantee energy supply.

Geothermal developers, particularly in the early stages of developing a field, face high costs for field development coupled with high risks associated with resource exploration and development / appraisal drilling. The cost of early phase development in the Kenya and Ethiopia typically ranges from around 50 to 100 million USD for a medium size development (130 MW).

This project is designed to demonstrate the viability of building a renewable energy mini-grid system from the bottom up.
