The project in Northern Ghana used the co-creation of folk songs to bridge local wisdom and scientific insights, enabling climate-vulnerable women to advocate for climate justice and land rights. These songs reached approximately 200 communities via local radio, though the process faced challenges in translating technical climate terms into local languages.

The Global Resilience Partnership (GRP) reports significant progress between 2020 and 2023 in scaling resilience innovations, democratizing knowledge, and influencing global policy. Key achievements include the incubation of the Ocean Risk and Resilience Action Alliance (ORRAA), the growth of the Resilience Evidence Coalition to over 1,700 members, and the establishment of the Resilience Hub at COP26, COP27, and COP28. GRP focused on amplifying Global South voices through initiatives like the South to South Resilience Academies and the Locally Led Adaptation principles. The report highlights the mobilization of private sector finance through the PREPARE Call to Action and the implementation of innovation challenges such as RAIN in East Africa. These efforts are designed to transition GRP toward its 2024-2029 strategy, focusing on transforming food and financial systems and embedding resilience in the private sector.

The document defines knowledge brokering as the process of linking knowledge producers and users to move knowledge into action. It emphasizes that while scientific evidence is necessary, it is insufficient alone to drive policy shifts. The text argues that climate knowledge brokers must now move beyond mere information dissemination toward 'innovation brokering,' acting as facilitators of change who integrate western scientific, experiential, and Indigenous knowledge to build a climate-resilient world.

The document outlines a spectrum of knowledge brokering roles—infomediary, knowledge translator, knowledge co-creator, and innovation broker—emphasizing that moving knowledge into action requires navigating power dynamics and institutional silos. It advocates for a transition toward 'innovation brokering' to achieve systemic change, highlighting a case study in Namibia where the University of Namibia combined climate impact data with capacity strengthening and partnership building to influence policy.

The document outlines how a consortium of researchers and practitioners in Namibia successfully influenced climate policy by acting as 'knowledge brokers'. Key strategies included aligning research with government mandates, using participatory tools like Vulnerability and Risk Assessments (VRA) and Transformative Scenario Planning (TSP), and tailoring knowledge products into local languages and accessible formats. The study emphasizes that while robust evidence is necessary, long-term impact requires sustained engagement, flexible funding, and the ability to navigate political landscapes to bridge gaps between national and local governance.

The COP26 Resilience Hub served as a convening platform for the UNFCCC’s Race to Resilience, bringing together state and non-state actors to prioritise adaptation and resilience. The report identifies five core messages: the necessity of scaling Locally Led Adaptation (LLA), the urgent need for increased and diversified adaptation finance (preferring grants over loans), the requirement to bridge knowledge and implementation gaps, the role of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) across urban, coastal, and rural contexts, and the essential inclusion of marginalised groups—including women, youth, and Indigenous peoples—in decision-making. It also highlights the emergence of 'Loss and Damage' as a critical focus and notes a significant gap between current adaptation finance flows and actual needs.

The report identifies a significant 'Valley of Death' between the production of climate science and its practical application in resilience and adaptation. While short-term forecasting is generally accurate and used, decadal information is urgently needed but largely unavailable, leading some practitioners to misuse long-term projections. The study argues that a 'science-first' approach is ineffective and recommends that the CLARE programme adopt a user-driven, transdisciplinary structure that prioritizes co-production, capacity building for 'discerning users', and the development of knowledge brokers to bridge the gap between scientists and decision-makers.

The report analyzes ten CDKN initiatives in India, Indonesia, Nepal, and Pakistan to identify effective design pathways for scaling climate compatible development. It distinguishes between research-led, hybrid, and action-led pathways, concluding that longer-term, action-oriented approaches are most successful in embedding new practices across local, provincial, and national scales. The authors propose several design principles, including early action, adaptive management, and strategic knowledge brokering, to navigate the complex multi-level governance required for climate resilience and low-carbon transitions.

The document explores how the Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) has applied various organisational learning models to address the complexities of integrating climate challenges into development action. It details six specific frameworks: levels of learning, complexity models, adaptive and generative learning, action-reflection cycles, learning for change design principles, and the building blocks of a learning organisation. The paper argues that in unpredictable environments, organisations must move beyond technical expertise to embed a culture of continuous learning, experimentation, and iterative adaptation to be effective.

The article analyzes how quantitative computer models, specifically the LEAP model, facilitate knowledge exchange between researchers and policy developers during a full cycle of Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) for a national energy plan. It argues that using such models for both ex ante and ex post scenario modelling enhances the systematic exchange of knowledge and builds the capacity of the actors involved.

The report examines the evolution of low-carbon, climate-resilient development (LCCRD) in developing countries, highlighting the integration of mitigation and adaptation into national planning. It identifies critical barriers, including limited human capacity and a significant imbalance in climate finance, where adaptation receives far less funding than mitigation. The document analyzes the shift from top-down to bottom-up international governance and the role of Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) as a vehicle for sustainable development. It also discusses the challenges of monitoring and evaluating adaptation investments and the proliferation of online knowledge platforms, recommending a greater focus on user needs and the translation of high-level strategies into concrete actions.

The 2013 Climate Knowledge Brokers (CKB) workshop brought together 35 participants from 17 organisations to enhance the sharing of climate and development information. The event focused on evaluating seven collaborative projects, sharing lessons on user engagement and internet marketing, and discussing the future governance and funding of the CKB Group. Key technical outputs highlighted include the reegle Tagging API and the Knowledge Navigator widget, both designed to reduce information duplication and improve content discoverability. Participants identified a critical need to move beyond 'one way communication' and better integrate local and indigenous knowledge to reach diverse stakeholders in developing countries.

The briefing explores 'knowledge-brokering' as a strategic tool for Canada to exert influence and support developing countries. It proposes three frameworks—knowledge system, transactional, and social change—to categorize activities and discusses the organizational capabilities required to move from knowledge creation to user-focused delivery. The authors suggest that Canada could leverage expertise in health policy, fuel-cell energy, and educational software, while recommending collaborative or 'virtual' organizational models to implement these strategies.

The document details a set of 12 recommendations aimed at positioning Canada as a 'creator & broker of knowledge for SD' through the use of ICTs, info-based networks, and strategic funding. It tracks progress made by sponsoring institutions—IISD, IDRC, and the North-South Institute—and proposes future steps, including the allocation of at least 15% of Canada's Official Development Assistance (ODA) to knowledge-related programs and the creation of youth opportunities in the ICT sector.
