Addressing Climate Change Through Integrated Responses: Linking adaptation and mitigation

The document emphasizes that treating climate mitigation and adaptation in isolation can lead to negative trade-offs that hinder overall progress. It advocates for a coordinated approach to identify synergies and co-benefits, providing a rationale for integrated climate strategies during the planning and implementation stages to increase effectiveness and political support.

• Approaches that treat mitigation and adaptation as separate silos risk creating negative trade-offs that can impede the overall success of climate action.
• The effectiveness and coherence of integrated climate actions depend on the ability to explore synergies and assess potential trade-offs.
• Sustainable development, adaptation, and mitigation are fundamentally linked, offering opportunities for joint activities and common solutions through aligned national policy processes.
