In considering mitigation actions, policy makers not only need to consider the costs and benefits of embarking on a low carbon development path, they also need to consider the socio-economic implications of any action. CDKN is supporting a research project which will develop cutting edge methodologies to link sectoral and economy wide models in order to address issues critical to the development of climate-compatible policy.

The InfoAmazonia GeoJournalism Platform builds on existing simple yet effective mapping and visualisation technologies, such as Google Earth, to help journalists and other knowledge brokers increase the Latin American public’s awareness about climate and development issues in the Amazon region.

This CDKN Innovation Fund project aims to identify mechanisms for strengthening resilience, highlighting opportunities where the private sector, including the insurance sector, and civil society networks can help build the capacity of government agencies to respond to climate-related risks.

This CDKN Innovation Fund project aims to create a finance framework and cashflow template for innovative financing mechanisms to reduce emissions from deforestation, and fund the transition to sustainable ecosystem management and a low carbon economy.

This project supports climate and development-related research by 14 MSc students from across the globe.

CDKN's Action Lab Innovation Fund is supporting a project entitled "Promoting climate change adaptation policies through the integration of multi-stakeholder dialogues and research-led initiatives – a pilot approach from the semi-arid region of northeast Brazil."
