Climate change and its impacts can have a very negative influence
on people and their economies and yet social and economic
development is the very driver of climate change. This complex
relationship necessitates a two-way approach embracing the
influence of climate change and policy/strategy/action on
development, and the influence of development policies, strategies
and decisions on climate change.Starting with development
priorities, the integration of development and climate objectives
is increasingly recognized as significant in research and policy
making. In practice, some development aims, such as poverty
alleviation, enhancing energy security and access or improving
health, also have potential climate benefits. The challenge is to
find a broadly applicable range of effective policies and actions
that realize development objectives and at the same time result in
real climate benefits either by reducing vulnerability to climate
change impacts or creating development with lower emissions.This
special issue of the "Climate Policy" journal focuses on new
evidence that identifies options for action, examining how
development strategies, policies and decisions can be made more
sustainable by integrating climate change considerations and
overcoming the barriers that hinder implementation. It explores
what lessons exist for policy at the national and international
level based on experience, research and case studies and looks at
how promising options for local policies can be scaled-up through
international initiatives to enhance their impact. It also examines
how international policy frameworks can create the conditions for
integrated development and climate policies. The outcomesprovide
useful contributions to sustainable development planning on issues
such as poverty reduction, rural development, disaster
preparedness, energy and transport as well as to the discussions at
national and international level regarding next steps to deal with
climate change.
