Reducing greenhouse gas emissions through development policies: a framework for analysing policy interventions

The document introduces a framework for analyzing Sustainable Development – Policies and Measures (SD-PAMs), which are policy proposals designed to promote sustainable development with climate benefits as side effects, particularly within the context of Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) by developing countries.

• The authors propose an evaluative approach for SD-PAMs based on reconstructing intervention theories to highlight assumptions regarding leverage mechanisms for change and the actions required for implementation, utilizing value chains to identify the targeted aspects of socio-technical systems.
• SD-PAMs are intended to encourage voluntary mitigation actions and improve access to financing or new technologies, provided there are national and international institutions to support, control, and register implementation.
• Policy instruments incentivized by carbon credits are considered to require an institutional framework that is too intricate to be effective when compared to those focused on technology transfer or funding.
