Définir le développement compatible avec le climat

The document argues that traditional separations between adaptation, mitigation, and development are insufficient. It proposes 'climate compatible development' as a framework to achieve 'triple win' outcomes: low emissions, high resilience, and sustained human development. It highlights a new development landscape where climate finance, shifting trade patterns, and technological innovation redefine economic growth, particularly for developing nations.

• Climate compatible development is defined as a development model that minimizes the negative effects of climate impacts while maximizing human development opportunities through a low-emission, resilient future.
• The framework moves beyond the traditional silos of adaptation, mitigation, and development to seek 'triple win' strategies that simultaneously achieve low emissions, strengthen resilience, and promote development.
• A new development landscape has emerged, characterized by shifting patterns of innovation, trade, and production, as well as unprecedented risks in finance and climate.
• Climate finance is shifting toward a 'polluter pays' principle rather than charitable motivations, leading to demands from developing countries for direct access to funds and accountability to the UNFCCC rather than traditional aid donors.
• While emission reduction is not a primary priority for low-income countries, land-use changes and deforestation make emissions significant in nations such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, highlighting the importance of REDD+.
• Climate change creates new economic winners and losers; for example, island economies dependent on tourism may suffer from rising air transport costs, while Bolivia may benefit from the demand for lithium in new battery technologies.
• Guyana's 2009 Low Carbon Development Strategy serves as a progressive example for low-income countries, using REDD+ payments to invest in clean energy (hydroelectricity), flood adaptation, and village economies.
