Climate and Development Knowledge Network

The Climate and Development Knowledge Network aims to advance gender-equitable and socially-inclusive climate-resilient action by mobilising knowledge-into-action, capacity and Southern climate leadership from local to global levels.

We work with the public, private and non-governmental sectors in support of locally-owned and -led climate-resilient action.

CDKN is a Southern-led network founded in 2010. It is managed by SouthSouthNorth, and implemented in partnership with Fundación Futuro Latinoamericano (FFLA) in Quito, Ecuador and ICLEI South Asia in ​​Delhi, India.

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.
