About Us.
Climate and Development Knowledge Network.
CDKN Ghana, a pivotal part of the global CDKN initiative, is set to facilitate and enhance climate resilience by addressing the country-specific challenges and opportunities in amplifying climate action efforts in Ghana.
Our journey since 2010 has been marked by collaborative efforts in knowledge brokering, fostering leadership for community action, capacity building and knowledge management, with a keen focus on gender-responsive, socially inclusive climate-resilient development, at the community level and the national level through our locally-led adaptation initiatives and youth work. Our strategies at the local level are tailored to empower communities and drive systemic change, addressing climate and non-climatic risks that impact food security, biodiversity, and livelihoods.
In recognition of the boundless energy and potential of the young people and, through this initiative, we aim to work with partners to provide the platform that harnesses their creativity and enthusiasm towards climate action and sustainable development.
