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.
The Ethiopian Environmental Protection Agency (through DFID Ethiopia) asked CDKN to provide procurement and programme management services to enable the delivery of IPLAN24.
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.
Planning ahead is a complex science
