Policy brief: A climate for solar power - Solutions for Ethiopia’s energy poverty Solar energy is providing off-grid energy to households and enterprises across Ethiopia. A CDKN policy brief investigates how the Government of Ethiopia can achieve its goals to radically scale up solar power.

Working Paper: Aligning energy and climate objectives in NDCs The effectiveness of national energy policy will be decisive for achieving Paris Agreement objectives and the 2030 Agenda. A new CDKN Working Paper assesses how Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Ghana and Peru are aligning these goals.

Hydropower plans in eastern and southern Africa could put electricity supply at risk Hydropower dams planned for eastern and southern Africa could put electricity supply at risk for vast regions because they rely on similar rainfall patterns for electricity generation—and so will suffer lack of water from droughts at the same time. This is the warning from new research led by Professor Declan Conway.

WORKING PAPER: Emerging technologies - new opportunities for climate compatible development A Fourth Industrial Revolution is underway, characterised by emerging and exponential technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain and the Internet of Things. The paper's authors consider if these technologies could help developing countries toward achieving their Paris Agreement climate commitments.

Emerging and exponential technologies could open new opportunities for low-carbon development Benjamin Combes and Darius Nassiry explore how emerging and exponential technologies - which characterise the 'fourth industrial revolution' could open new opportunities for low-carbon development.

Working paper: Working across scales - Learning from seven years of climate compatible development in Asia A new report by John Colvin and Christina McDonagh for CDKN explores the value of stimulating climate compatible development initiatives at multiple levels of governance - drawing on seven years of work by CDKN in India, Indonesia, Nepal and Pakistan.

Mainstreaming climate compatible development: Insights from CDKN's first seven years This flagship book draws from CDKN's experience of supporting climate-compatible development in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean and provides practical recommendations on how to achieve low-carbon, climate-resilient development in low income and emerging economies.

EVENT: The Paris climate commitments - propositions for national action At this event, hosted by CDKN and the Overseas Development Institute, experts discussed progress in planning for NDC implementation across seven countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America.
