What we are achieving
The project aims to look at different aspects of climate resilience and implement locally led adaptation solutions in target countries. In the current phase (Phase III), over five years (2022-27), CDKN will focus on advancing equitable, financed and ecosystem-based action on climate change. CDKN is co-funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands and Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC) through the Step Change Initiative, which aims to accelerate equitable and inclusive locally-led adaptation.
CDKN Objective 1: Supporting integration of gender equality and social inclusion in policies and practice to achieve climate-resilient development
CDKN Objective 2: Enabling access to appropriate and equitable finance for climate-resilient development that supports locally-led solutions
CDKN Objective 3: Strengthening implementation of equitable and locally-appropriate ecosystems-based adaptation to build the resilience of climate-affected communities and settlements
