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).

July newsletter - Focus on climate vulnerability
The July edition of CDKN's newsletter focuses on climate vulnerability, climate adaptation in rural Uganda and CDKN supported work in Central America to move towards sustainable energy.
The Zambezi River Basin is the continent’s most important shared river basin due to the large number of riparian states and the extent of availability and dependence on water for development. Read more about this project which maps the central and lower regions of the Basin which are highly vulnerable to climate change.
CDKN provided technical support to the Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and the African Group of Negotiators (AGN) at the 17th Conference of the Parties (COP-17). Accounting for suppressed demand means that development projects, including those that provide or extend basic services to the poor, can claim more carbon credits and generate greater carbon finance revenue.
