A framework for mainstreaming climate resilience into development planning
Past and present levels of greenhouse gas emissions have locked unavoidable climate change effects into the climate system for decades to come. Countries with climate vulnerable and poor people need to find ways to achieve climate resilient societies and economies while addressing both current increased climatic variability and future climate change. This paper is the result of collaboration and shared learning by government development planners from countries across Africa and Asia. It presents the concepts of climate resilience mainstreaming and provides a practical instrument for government planners to think through the integration of climate-resilient responses into policy.
