Using the latest climate data and scientific research available, CCKP provides development practitioners with resources to explore, evaluate, synthesize, and learn about future climate scenarios, projected risks, and climate-related vulnerabilities at multiple levels of details.
The CCKP contains climate, disaster risk, and socio-economic datasets, as well as synthesis products, such as the Climate Risk Country Profiles, which are built and packaged for specific user-focused functions in a particular country or sector. The portal also provides intelligent links to other resources and tools.
