New framework launched - 'Framework for Water Security and Climate Resilient Development'
The African Ministers' Council on Water (AMCOW) launched the CDKN-supported 'Framework for Water Security and Climate Resilient Development' at Africa Water Week in Cairo on 14 May. The Framework will help decision makers and practitioners in Africa integrate climate resilience into water plans and investments.
This project aims to foster the creation of a global network of journalists and media organisations in the developing world that are capable of reporting on climate-change adaptation and other aspects of environmental finance for both a general and specialised audience.
The InfoAmazonia GeoJournalism Platform builds on existing simple yet effective mapping and visualisation technologies, such as Google Earth, to help journalists and other knowledge brokers increase the Latin American public’s awareness about climate and development issues in the Amazon region.
This joint initiative between three knowledge brokers aims to advance the user demand-driven development, refinement and cross-linking between weADAPT, the Climate Information Portal (CIP) and AfricaAdapt.
This project focuses on two priorities: integrating heterogeneous and globally distributed information sources, and tailoring data into relevant content that can be communicated in a way that allows stakeholders to find sector-specific knowledge.
The International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) and Institute of Development Studies (IDS), together with partner knowledge networks, are trying to address the climate change knowledge gap through an in-depth analysis of how different user groups of climate knowledge broker services assess, access and apply knowledge from these services.
The Renewable Energy & Energy Efficiency Partnership (REEEP) and reegle, a unique clean energy information portal, are working with three partners (weADAPT, Eldis and OpenEI) on a project that aims to drastically improve the efficiency of tagging and categorizing clean energy documents with a new user interface.
