WORKING PAPER: Drivers and challenges for climate compatible development
This working paper considers some of the various drivers behind countries’ climate compatible development strategies and their incentives for engaging on this agenda. It also looks some of the challenges and disincentives to promoting climate compatible development reforms and considers some of the options for overcoming these.
CDKN is working on a range of initiatives to share learning from our programme to date. One of these is an initiative to capture and synthesise lessons learned from our work at the sub-national level in developing countries.
The Climate Finance Advisory Service (CFAS) is a platform through which negotiators, policy makers and advisors in the poorest and most climate vulnerable countries can access bespoke information and guidance needed to effectively participate in global climate finance negotiations.
This project will review the effectiveness of various initiatives (including CDKN’s), for supporting international negotiators (in climate change and other fields) and make recommendations to inform CDKN’s work.
CDKN has partnered with the Meridian Institute to bring together a variety of advocacy fund stakeholders for a series of events which will discuss how best to support negotiators in international climate change negotiations.
The Shubh Kal project aims to strengthen community knowledge and voice on climate change impacts and adaptation by increasing their input into local research and policy dialogues and enabling communities to share their experiences of adapting to climate change.

LEDS Asia is shaping up
Ari Huhtala, CDKN’s Director of Policy and Programmes, reports from the first Asia Low Emission Development Strategies (LEDS) Forum in Bangkok
This researches the institutional barriers and opportunities in achieving convergence of DRR and CCA in the context of development, poverty and vulnerability reduction.
Taking the examples of flash floods in Leh (2010) and Bramer (2006) districts in India, the project examines the policy positions adopted by district planners post disaster, and assesses the extent to which these integrate disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA) concerns into long term recovery and development planning.
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.
