Climate and Development Knowledge Network – Accelerating inclusive climate action

About this project

In 2022, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change made clear that society has entered a critical juncture in its response to the climate crisis. The window of opportunity to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement and a 1.5 ºC world and avoid dangerous and catastrophic climate change is rapidly closing. Human-induced climate change has already caused widespread losses and damages, with the most vulnerable people and places worst affected. The COP26 presidency called for an all-of-society response to adaptation that is underpinned by increased levels of accessible adaptation finance, catalyzes inclusive and equitable locally led action because it is more effective, and harnesses the power of nature to reduce vulnerability to disasters and safeguard food security. This project rises to that challenge, with the goal of advancing gender-responsive and socially equitable climate-resilient development by mobilizing knowledge into action, Southern climate leadership and capacities from local to global levels. To advance this goal, the Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) will pursue three core objectives: support the integration of gender and social inclusion in policies and practice to achieve climate-resilient development; strengthen the implementation of ecosystem-based adaptation to build the resilience of climate-affected communities; and advance access to appropriate and equitable finance for climate-resilient development that enables locally led adaptation.
