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.
This project will undertake a study on the vulnerability of the energy sector to the impacts of climate change in Tajikistan and develop an innovative methodology for this process. It will add a regional overview to highlight the trans-boundary issues. The studies will assess Climate Risk Assessment of Energy Infrastructure, Climate Risk Mitigation and Adaptation and Cost-Benefit Analysis of the Climate Risk Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies.
Pakistan’s weather is becoming increasingly volatile, with climate-related disasters on the rise. To try and prepare the nation ahead of future events, the Punjab Provincial Disaster Management Authority has asked CDKN to help it incorporate ‘climate resiliency’ into its post-disaster reconstruction efforts.
The Ethiopian Environmental Protection Agency (through DFID Ethiopia) asked CDKN to provide procurement and programme management services to enable the delivery of IPLAN24.

OUTLOOK: Edition four, August 2012
In this edition of CDKN's quarterly Outlook newsletter, we highlight climate compatible development in Rwanda, Pakistan, Chile, Uganda and the Marshall Islands.
Public housing and infrastructure developments across rural and semi-urbanised India are rarely designed to be ‘climate compatible’. Climate-compatible development addresses the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, use fewer resources and make buildings that can withstand weather-related disasters.
The Southern African Power Pool’s (SAPP) has planned an integrated expansion which includes more than 6,300 MW of new large scale hydropower with at least another 6,500MW under discussion within the Zambezi River Basin. CDKN is supporting research that examines the interaction between climate change, irrigation and hydropower in the Basin.
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).
