Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation

Recognizing the interconnectedness of climate issues with governance, CPDI has integrated climate change mitigation and adaptation into its existing work, particularly that focused on local governance, budgets, parliamentary/policy engagement, and Right to information (RTI). CPDI advocates for an improved policy and institutional framework related to climate change at both Federal and provincial levels, while highlighting the need for more effective policies to address climate challenges and promote sustainable practices.

CPDI provides technical assistance and capacity building to enhance the coordination, oversight, and management capacities of relevant government departments and bodies about climate change. This involves providing support to officials involved in climate-related activities to ensure a more efficient and comprehensive response.

CPDI believes it is critical to utilize the inherent potential of youth in countering climate crisis. Therefore, the organization is focused on capacitating youth across the country to become climate resilient and act as firsthand responders. Moreover, CPDI ensures that climate change understanding is imparted amongst diverse audiences including minorities, Persons with Disabilities (PWDs), transgender persons and vulnerable communities.

CPDI produces new bodies of knowledge on different climate themes in the form of policy briefs, research studies, articles, and blog posts. Moreover, CPDI is at the forefront of designing thoughtful awareness and advocacy campaigns on topics such as climate justice, impact of climate change on food insecurity and gender.

CPDI facilitates public debates and raising awareness on climate change issues. The organization holds stakeholder dialogues, consultative workshops, and conferences to encourage a broader understanding of climate-related challenges and fosters collaboration among various stakeholders for effective solutions.
