Description
Description | The Climate and Development Knowledge Network works to enhance the quality of life for the poorest and most vulnerable to climate change. We support decision-makers in designing and delivering climate compatible development.
We do this by combining knowledge, research and technical advisory in support of locally owned and managed policy processes. We work in partnership with decision-makers in the public, private and non-governmental sectors nationally, regionally and globally. |

Objectives | CDKN works across four strategic themes:
1. Climate finance 2. Cities 3. Water-Energy-Food nexus 4. Gender and social inclusion |
Activities | From 2018 to 2021, CDKN will be further developing its knowledge-sharing and learning work in a new phase of the CDKN programme. CDKN’s knowledge services focus on making information and learning on climate compatible development easier to access and use, in support of ambitious climate action. We work in three areas:
• Knowledge: We synthesise and tailor the wealth of evidence and learning on climate compatible development from CDKN and other international climate programmes to produce highly-targeted knowledge and tools to support policy design and implementation. • Engagement: We engage in countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America to ensure this tailored knowledge is used and achieves impact. We share the latest climate information and learning to enhance global knowledge and inform key debates. • Peer learning: We bring developing countries together to share their experiences and learning on delivering climate action on the ground. We help connect fellow professionals who face similar climate and development challenges, within and across borders. |
