Knowledge sharing is central to climate compatible development and
is the foundation of CDKN’s projects and partnerships
The need for reliable and accessible climate and development knowledge
particularly among decision-makers and those who influence policy processes
Knowledge production is a shared experience – between national-level policy
makers, scientists and community members
Knowledge brokers – translating knowledge between developers and end-users
CDKN and knowledge sharing

An exchange between climate scientists,
community members and policy makers
• Platform for dialogue to overcome the barriers to
enabling climate science to better support community
resilience
• National and community-level exchanges were held
and innovative dialogue tools employed to encourage a
sharing of community-based and scientific sources
of climate information and to help inform community-
level decision-making and national DRR planning.
• Key barriers identified: the choice of media for
disseminating information and the type of information
relayed
Operationalizing Climate Science in
Kenya and Senegal:
Climate and Development Knowledge Network | www.cdkn.org 8
• Empowered communities to know what
questions they could ask of climate science
• Allowed scientists a better understanding of how
research could inform decision-making
• Reminded policy makers of the pivotal role they
can play in linking scientific and local
communities

Africa Climate Change Resilience Alliance • Research programme on adaptive capacity in
rural communities of Ethiopia, Uganda and
Mozambique
• Consortium of organizations working to
increase the use of evidence in designing
development interventions to increase
vulnerable communities’ adaptive capacity
• Local Adaptive Capacity Framework –
identifies five characteristics of adaptive
capacity
• Framework applied in 11 rural communities
with the aim to broker discussions between
policy makers, researchers and local officials 9

• District development plans in Uganda did not
take account of communities’ vulnerability to
climate-related disasters
• Field visits were arranged for national officials
to visit communities in a disaster-prone district
to help increase understanding and
strengthen links between national and local
governments
• District planning teams were trained on how
to integrate climate change adaptation and
DRR into their sector plans and five-year
District Development Plan
• The district was allocated increased financial
support from Uganda’s MoF

Ecosystem-based approaches to
building resilience in urban areas
• Bringing together urban practitioners, policy makers
and scientists to develop a framework for decision-
making on ecosystem-based adaptation
• Limited guidance available for urban practitioners on
decision-making for adaptation, specifically in relation
to EbA
• Framework will be developed by and for policy makers
in local governments, drawing on their shared needs
and experiences
• Serve as a decision-making tool, assisting local policy
makers to identify and prioritise actions
• Process will develop a community of practice on
ecosystem management for adaptation and DRR in an
urban context 11
