Understanding climate diplomacy: building diplomatic capacity and systems to avoid dangerous climate change

E3G, have published a report Understanding Climate Diplomacy – Building diplomatic capacity and systems to avoid dangerous climate change, with CDKN support. The report defines climate diplomacy as encompassing a rich understanding of how to shape the national interest debate, through engaging new constituencies that can leverage change. The aim was to provide practitioners of climate diplomacy, especially those inside government, with a shared analytical and conceptual basis to underpin more effective cooperation between Ministries of Environment, Energy, Foreign Affairs, Trade, Economy and Finance. Ultimately the publication seeks to help fully integrate climate change into “whole of government” decision-making and through this manage climate risk more successfully.
