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. 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 also
explores what lessons exist for policy at the national and
international level and looks at how promising options for local
policies can be scaled-up through international initiatives. It
also examines how international policy frameworks can create the
conditions for integrated development and climate policies. The
outcomes provide 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.
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
