Climate Change

Picture
The IPD Climate Change Team, in collaboration with the Robert S. Strauss Center’s Climate Change and African Political Stability (CCAPS) program, tracks international development assistance for climate change adaptation and mitigation in developing countries to discern whether international commitments for “new and additional” and “fast track finance” are being met and reaching countries that are most vulnerable.

The team has created a methodology to climate code development projects by assessing each project’s ability to help countries adapt to or mitigate the effects of climate change.  Using this methodology, the team climate coded all official development assistance projects in Malawi from 1996-2011.  They have also climate coding all World Bank development projects in Sub-Saharan Africa from 2008-2012.  The team hopes to expand this work to include other international development banks as well as starting work on South and Southeast Asia.  In addition to climate coding, the team has also conducted extensive qualitative fieldwork and case study analysis on national capacities to address climate change risks in Malawi, Kenya and Uganda. They also work with numerous international and national governmental and non-government groups globally to provide timely geo-referenced information on climate finance flows.
