Description
The Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN)'s mission is to improve the quality of life of the poorest and most vulnerable populations in the face of climate change. Established in 2010, CDKN supports countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America in the design and implementation of climate-compatible development strategies. Since 2018, the program has been led by SouthSouthNorth (SSN), based in South Africa, in collaboration with Fundación FuturoLatinoamericano (FFLA) and ICLEI South Asia. The third phase of the CDKN, from July 2022 to January 2027, focuses on climate-resilient, inclusive and gender-responsive development. It targets three priority areas: resilience financing, gender equality and social inclusion (GESI), and ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA).
