Definir desenvolvimento compatível com o clima

The document argues that policymakers must move beyond treating mitigation, adaptation, and development as separate strategies. It defines 'climate compatible development' as a framework to minimize climate damage while maximizing development opportunities, aiming for 'triple wins' across emissions, resilience, and social growth. The brief highlights the shift in global finance toward the 'polluter pays' principle and provides examples of low-carbon strategies in Guyana and resilience efforts in Bolivia.

• Climate compatible development is defined as development that minimizes damage from climate impacts while maximizing human development opportunities associated with a low-emission, climate-resilient future.
• The document proposes a 'triple win' approach where policymakers seek strategies that simultaneously achieve low emissions, increased climate resilience, and the promotion of development.
• Climate change is altering the global development landscape by changing relative prices of inputs and outputs, creating new economic winners and losers, and shifting trade dynamics, such as increasing transport costs for exporters.
• Climate finance is shifting toward a global relationship based on the 'polluter pays' principle, leading to demands from developing countries for direct access to funding and a move away from traditional aid conditions.
• Low-income countries, while having contributed less to climate change, can find opportunities in low-carbon development, such as Guyana's use of REDD+ mechanisms to fund clean energy, flood adaptation, and social services.
• Climate resilience in developing nations is often hindered by insufficient scientific capacity and a lack of comprehensive vulnerability diagnostics, as seen in Bolivia's experience with the Pilot Programme on Climate Resilience (PPCR).
• The document warns that failing to integrate mitigation, adaptation, and development strategies can lead to inefficiencies or the implementation of policies that solve one problem while aggravating others.
