Integrated Development and Climate policies: |
|
Paris, 20-22 September 2006
Workshop report Over one hundred policy makers, researchers and representatives of the private sector and NGOs came together to discuss new ways of linking climate change to sustainable development. The integration between development and climate objectives starting from development priorities, has received increasing attention in research and policy making over the last 2-3 years. The challenge is to find a broadly applicable range of effective policies and actions for realizing development objectives and at the same time result in real climate benefits (either reducing vulnerability to climate change impacts or development with lower emissions). The goal of this workshop was to see what lessons for policy at the national and international level can be drawn from experiences so far. The workshop was successful in bringing together stakeholders working in different areas, ranging from rural development and land use, disaster management, poverty reduction and energy to transportation. Documents for download are available in PDF format. 20 September: National Development and Climate Policies
