CDKN is supporting the Regional Centre on Climate Change and Decision-Making to strengthen its impact in the region and by a conveyor for science and policy on climate change.

Out of the estimated 123,000 businesses in Rwanda around 98% are small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and around 84% of them are informal. Climate-related hazards impact many of these businesses in rural and urban areas, for example when landslides hot, transport routes are blocked off or when flooding occurs, production processes are disrupted. Support structures for enhancing the resilience of these small and medium sized businesses, are often not within their capacities.

Mass media plays a critical role in shaping public opinion, and is indispensable in reaching out to the public. This CDKN project aims to support African journalists in covering climate change related stories and the position of the African Group of Negotiators.

The project looked to identify, prioritise, develop and implement adaptation measures that help reduce the climate vulnerability of natural and anthropic attributes to the population of the Metropolitan District of Quito

Phase II of the Sub-national Learning Programme on climate compatible development presents an excellent opportunity to build on and enhance the learning achieved in the first phase of the CDKN and ICLEI (Local Governments for Sustainability) partnership.

Born out of Learning Lima, this research project explored how environmental hazards and sm

This project developed a concept for a supported nationally appropriate mitigation action (NAMA) for small and medium scale (1-10 MWe) renewable energy initiatives in Indonesia on a national and province level, with two pilot provinces. The concept was developed by The Energy research Centre of the Netherlands (ECN), government partners and local experts.

CDKN, under this project, provided a central and common approach to describe and track energy mitigation actions and also improved the evidence available for comparing and describing mitigation actions.

This project is designed to support Bangladesh in developing its evidence base to map out a business as usual scenario, helping the government identify its needs on ‘intended nationally determined contributions’ (INDCs) which will shape its mitigation scenarios. This will finally result in a comprehensive INDC submission to the UNFCCC by the Government of Bangladesh.

The project will Improve understanding of low-carbon options – identification of priority opportunities for low-carbon development in Pakistan.

The project will help Integration of climate-compatible DRM in key regulations and laws and on departmental plans and sectoral plans of State Planning Department.

This project has trained individuals in charge of planning processes in CDKN projects and organizations, to assist them to understand gender issues and address these in the planning process.
