=== Impacts of climate change in Uganda ===
In 2016, CDKN produced the report an "Economic assessment of the impacts of climate change in Uganda",<ref>{{cite web|url=https://cdkn.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/UGANDA_Economic-assessment-of-climate-change_WEB.pdf|title=Economic assessment of the impacts of climate change in Uganda|author=|date=|website=cdkn.org|access-date=5 March 2019}}</ref> which was commissioned by the Government of [[Uganda]]. It aimed to provide the government with economic evidence on the current and future costs associated with climate variability and predicted climate change, and the necessary [[climate change adaptation|adaptation]] measures for different sectors at both national and local scales. This evidence is intended to help policy-makers mainstream climate change and resilience into national and sectoral policies and develop the case for investing in adaptation.<ref name=uganda20>{{cite web|url=https://www.weadapt.org/knowledge-base/national-adaptation-planning/inaction-on-climate-change-will-cost-uganda-20-times-more-than-adaptation|title=Inaction on climate change will cost Uganda 20 times more than adaptation - weADAPT|author=|date=|website=www.weadapt.org|access-date=5 March 2019}}</ref>
Evidence from the study has already informed Uganda's [[Intended Nationally Determined Contribution]] (INDC) to the 21st Conference of Parties (COP 21) to the [[United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change]] (UNFCCC) in Paris, France, in late 2015.<ref name=uganda20 />

=== The Ahmedabad Heat Action Plan ===
After a heat wave hit [[Ahmedabad]], a western city of 5.5 million people, in May 2010, killing over 1,300 people, local authorities mapped areas with "high-risk" populations including slums, as part of an extreme heat action plan.<ref name=nita>[https://web.archive.org/web/20151227102019/http://in.reuters.com/article/india-heatwave-disasters-idINKBN0OD2GT20150529 Ahmedabad offers way to beat the heat as 1,786 killed in heat wave], Nita Bhalla, Reuters, access date 3 May 2017</ref> CDKN supported the creation and roll-out of the action plan.<ref>[http://www.pwc.com/gx/en/industries/healthcare/casestudies/heat-health-action-plan-in-India.html Beat the heat: Heat health action plan in India], PwC, access date 3 May 2017</ref>
The project built up public awareness of the risks of high temperatures and set up "cooling spaces" in temples, public buildings and malls in the summer months.<ref name=nita />
