CDKN

Climate finance
ODI has led the way in tracking international support to developing countries and analysing the governance principles that underpin this finance flow.
Low-carbon growth
Future country strategies for growth and development will increasingly take into account the impacts of climate change and its mitigation.
Natural resource management
ODI research on natural resource management in the context of climate change looks at two key areas: land-based climate change mitigation activities; and the effective use of natural resources for development purposes.
