With case studies in India, Indonesia and the Philippines, this project will assess the climate finance needs and gaps for climate compatible development. The team will look at second-tier cities and explore how available financial opportunities can be harnessed to meet those climate finance needs.

Resettlement may reduce urban residents' risk of suffering climate-related disasters, but it can also increase people’s poverty and vulnerability.

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.
