CKB: Climate Knowledge Brokering in Latin America and the Caribbean

Based on interviews with climate knowledge brokers and decision makers in Latin America and the Caribbean, this report summarises the most important climate knowledge-related challenges they face in their work, and the solutions they would like to see.

Side Event at GGKP Conference: Linking Climate Knowledge to Green Growth

The CKB and REEEP will be organising a side event at the Fourth Annual Conference of the Green Growth Knowledge Platform, held at the Global Green Growth Week (GGGW) 2016. This event, titled 'Linking Climate Knowledge to Green Growth', will involve a number of the CKB's ever-popular Climate Knowledge Sharing Clinics.

2016 Climate Knowledge Brokers Workshop

The Climate Knowledge Brokers Group (CKB) gathers the best climate knowledge brokers in the world to discuss tactics and strategies to use information to shift the world to a more climate compatible future. Join us in the Rocky Mountains in September to discuss how best to perform this role.

This workshop will be fully interactive – don’t expect lots of powerpoint presentations. If you come to CKB, you come to work; to share; to think.

Towards a common vocabulary for climate change - part 2: reflections and next steps

As the Open Knowledge Hub project has evolved we’ve seen a number of exciting new ideas and collaborations emerge from among the project partners that really push forward the Open Knowledge agenda.
A good example of this came from a subset of partners with a shared interest in climate knowledge sharing. The project partners – Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre (CCCCC), the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) and Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnership (REEEP) had identified an opportunity to learn from each other to improve how the climate change information they held was being structured and described. They also recognised that working together to address this issue should not only improve their ability to share their own information effectively but could also make a wider contribution of value to other knowledge brokers in the sector.

Towards a Common Vocabulary for Climate Change

This blog article has been written collaboratively by the project team.

Locating good quality and relevant information to help address climate change can be a challenging and time consuming task. Paradoxically, in an increasingly interconnected and information rich world, the sheer volume of information being produced globally and the multiplicity of possible sources can make identifying and accessing the right information for your own particular context and needs increasingly difficult.

Climate Knowledge Brokers Group

Climate and development professionals, once challenged by a lack of data, are now overwhelmed with oceans of information. Today, the challenge is navigating and making sense of this information.

In Warsaw, the Climate Knowledge Brokers Group brings smarter navigation to those facing oceans of information

The fields of climate and development have undergone radical transformations over the past decades as the world has woken up to the perils of climate change. At the same time, information and communication technologies (ICTs) have revolutionized the way we communicate, bringing many benefits – but also new problems. An innovative global partnership of knowledge brokers has taken on the challenge of signposting and improving access to knowledge resources for end users.
