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.

CDKN will be providing in-depth support to low carbon development in Peru (Climate-Change Plan), specifically through the Mitigation Action Plans and Scenarios (MAPS) process, which constitutes Phase 1 of the CCPlan.

The MAPS-Chile project will develop emission trajectories through research, modelling, and simulation results.

In this project CDKN will help to integrate climate change considerations into Cartagena's Zoning Plan, and update the assessment of Cartagena’s vulnerability to the effects of climate change.

Colombia’s agricultural sector is particularly vulnerable to climate changes forecast for the coming decades. The nation therefore needs to shape strategies that can enhance the the sector’s resilience to climate change.

The objective of this project was to integrate adaptation into climate change in city planning and in the management of key economic sectors.

There is now more opportunity than ever to rapidly advance sustainable energy in Central America. , the Worldwatch Institute (WI) will establish a participatory dialogue on renewable energy in seven countries of the Central American Integration System (SICA) region (Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama).
