The Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) has been commissioned by the UK Department for International Development (DFID) to communicate the findings of IPCC AR5 to decision-makers in developing countries.
The purpose of this initiative was to provide Latin American and Caribbean decision-makers reliable and relevant information on key aspects of climate compatible development and disaster risk management.
This project aims to strengthen the institutional capacity of planning departments in ministries and local governments in eight African countries by integrating water security and climate resilience into water-related development planning.
This initiative arose from the need to incorporate issues related to climate compatible development in the Caribbean, in order to raise awareness and publicise not only the threats but also the opportunities that climate change may bring.
