An investigation of the evidence of benefits from climate compatible development

The document explores the concept of 'climate compatible development' or 'triple wins,' which refers to policies that simultaneously achieve climate adaptation, mitigation, and development goals. It notes a lack of empirical evidence regarding the costs and benefits of these policies and describes a project aimed at helping coastal planners identify investment strategies that reduce emissions, enable adaptation, and enhance local livelihoods. The analysis utilizes four developing country studies to evaluate these policies through the framework of 'no-regrets', 'low regrets', and 'with regrets' decision-making.

• There is a current lack of empirical data regarding the actual costs and benefits associated with policies designed to achieve 'triple wins' (simultaneous adaptation, mitigation, and development benefits).
