The project builds on an EU-funded project currently underway which aims to strengthen the ability of Climate Actions Network South Asia (CANSA) to operate as an effective broker, through capacity-building sessions and grants for research projects. The CDKN initiative will strengthen CANSA’s ability to interact with the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC).

This project examines the prospects for ‘climate compatible agricultural knowledge management’ to maximise opportunities for the rural poor to mitigate and adapt to climate change – and to be properly recompensed for the costs they bear in doing so.

The Government of El Salvador, with support from CDKN, is developing a National Climate Change Strategy.

The goal of this project is to research, develop and test methods to integrate community-based participatory carbon measurement and monitoring with remote sensing, GIS and web-enabled reporting tools.

This project will design a Participatory Monitoring and Evaluation (PM&E) system for climate change interventions at the ground level. The tool will help to assess the effectiveness of community adaptation projects in Bangladesh, and may be replicated in other countries.

START is commissioning and managing research awards on the theme of climate change, agriculture and food security in Africa, with support from CDKN.

The project aims to identify effective ways to improve and share understanding of water-related climate change risks and uncertainties in selected delta communities in Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia.

This project will assist Nepal Climate Change Knowledge Management Centre to reach policy-makers, students and researchers, as well as the community-based organisations and NGOs who are in the frontline of delivering adaptation projects.

CDKN is working with climate risk-management firm Acclimatise to help Caribbean governments come up with a regional Implementation Plan for coping with climate change.

CDKN is working with the online information gateway, Eldis, to improve access to key research on climate and development.

CDKN is supporting the Government of Ghana to take the first steps in developing a National Climate Change Policy Framework (NCCPF).

Within just a few months of the launch of the Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN), our rapid response service fast-tracked a new project for the African Development Bank (AfDB) to provide urgent technical support on climate finance for the continent.
