CDKN helps developing countries to design and deliver climate compatible development. When decision makers in government, business and civil society speak to us about their aims and needs, they often ask about ‘best practice’ in other countries or, indeed, mistakes to avoid.
This project aims to provide monetary support to the Coalition for Rainforest Nations (CfRN) in order to continue and scale up its advocacy role to support LDC countries to include the protection of rainforest and coastal marine ecosystems within the UNFCCC and other international forum.

With support from CDKN, The Gambia revised its medium term plan - the Programme for Accelerated Growth and Employment (PAGE) - to integrate climate change into policies and actions. This was the first step towards developing a climate change strategy for the country.
CDKN will be providing in-depth support to low carbon development in Peru (Climate-Change Plan), specifically through the Mitigation Action Plans and Scenarios (MAPS) process, which constitutes Phase 1 of the CCPlan.
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.
