About the Article
This Teaching Paper provides a structured overview of international organizations and networks central to climate and development practice. It highlights the mandates and functions of key institutions such as UNFCCC, IPCC, GCF, GEF, IIED, CAN, IRENA, WRI, FAO, and UNDP, showing how they contribute to global climate governance. By linking research, finance, advocacy, and technical support, these organizations shape opportunities for non-profits and practitioners. A case study illustrates how engagement with global institutions can scale local initiatives, while practical tips help navigate barriers such as complex funding systems. For academics, the resource bridges theory with institutional analysis; for practitioners, it provides guidance for aligning projects with global frameworks, mobilizing resources, and strengthening advocacy.
Key Topics
- Global climate governance frameworks
