CDKN was launched in March 2010 and is continuing to develop partnerships around the world to deliver climate compatible development.

So far, CDKN has worked to strengthen the Government of Pakistan's capacity to negotiate on climate issues by providing relevant information to key government officials, holding consultations to build a common platform among members of Pakistani delegation at the UNFCCC Conference of the parties in December 2010. CDKN has also been assisting the Rwandan government in drafting a national strategy on climate change and low carbon development.

In July 2009, 18 Caribbean Community leaders endorsed the Regional Framework for Achieving Development Resilient to Climate Change prepared by the Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre (5Cs). The Framework provides a roadmap for climate compatible development over the period 2009 to 2015. Now that the priorities have been established in the Framework, a detailed Implementation Plan and accompanying monitoring and evaluation plan is to be developed.

CDKN is supporting 5Cs in creating the Implementation Plan over a period of nine months. The project includes development of a database of policies and programmes, extensive stakeholder engagement and formal consultation.
