Definir desenvolvimento compatível com o clima

This policy brief defines 'climate compatible development' as an integrated approach that minimizes climate-related damage while maximizing human development opportunities in a low-emission, resilient future. It argues that policymakers must move beyond treating adaptation, mitigation, and development as separate strategies to achieve 'triple wins'—simultaneous benefits in emissions reduction, climate resilience, and social development.

• Climate compatible development is defined as development that minimizes damage from climate impacts while maximizing human development opportunities associated with a low-emission and climate-resilient future.
• The concept of climate compatible development seeks to integrate three traditionally separate strategies—adaptation, mitigation, and development—to achieve 'triple benefits' (triplos benefícios) that result in low emissions, increased climate resilience, and the promotion of development.
• Climate change creates a new development landscape characterized by unprecedented levels of financial, catastrophe, conflict, and climate risks and uncertainties, as well as shifting patterns of innovation, production, and trade.
• Climate change impacts the global economy by altering the relative prices of inputs and outputs, affecting export-oriented growth strategies due to increased transport costs, and creating new winners and losers based on their reliance on carbon-rich fuels versus clean energy and adaptation technologies.
• While low-income countries have contributed less to climate change, some—such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo—have significant emissions when land use and forestry are included, making mechanisms like REDD+ critical to international policy.
• The document highlights Guyana's 2009 Low Carbon Technologies Development Strategy as a progressive example for low-income countries, using REDD+ payments for forest conservation to fund clean energy, flood adaptation, and village economy development, including health and education.
• Bolivia is cited as a country lacking climate resilience due to insufficient scientific capacity for monitoring and a lack of comprehensive vulnerability diagnostics, but it is receiving support from the World Bank's Pilot Programme on Climate Resilience (PPCR) to improve decision-support systems and risk management.
