Driving evidence, partnerships, and policy for resilient and sustainable futures.
The Global Centre for Climate, Environment and Development (GCCED) is an independent, non-partisan policy and research organization headquartered in Ottawa, Canada.
We unite science, strategy, and collaboration to advance climate resilience, environmental governance, and sustainable development — with a focus on fragile and conflict-affected contexts (FCV), where vulnerabilities are deepest and capacities most constrained.

Our Approach:
GCCED engages where climate impacts, conflict dynamics, and governance challenges intersect, supporting regional and national efforts to link climate adaptation, peace-building, and sustainable development.
Flagship Initiative – The FCV Resilience Lab
The FCV Resilience Lab is GCCED’s flagship platform for applied research, technical advisory, and rapid-response support in fragile and conflict-affected environments.
Key Outputs
