The Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) has distilled the key messages for Africa and South Asia from the thousands of pages of the IPCC’s Fifth Assessment Report (AR5). The reports glean the richest material on climate impacts and trends in Africa and South Asia, as well as discussing key experiences in adaptation and mitigation. CDKN is also offering a free media toolkit with infographics, presentations and images to download to discuss and share the findings of the report.
