Climate and Development Initiatives (CDI) is a Non-Governmental Organisation established in Uganda to lobby and advocate for relevant policy changes on climate change and sustainable energy issues in Africa.

As one of the leading civil society organisations working on climate change in Uganda, CDI has been involved in many national and regional capacity building projects on implementing mechanisms of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

Current focus is on building adaptive capacity to climate change impacts in Africa.

CDI co-ordinates the Climate Change and Energy Thematic Group of the Uganda Rio+10 Coalition. The coalition is a partner in the Global Sustainability Watch Project (a mainly DANIDA funded project supporting Southern CSOs in following up implementation of WSSD outcomes in over 27 countries in Africa, Latin America ad Asia).

CDI is a core member of INFORSE and is regional co-ordinator for INFORSE - East Africa. INFORSE is the lead network on the energy component in the Global SUSWATCH project. CDI also co-ordinates Climate Action Network - Uganda (CAN - Uganda).
