Climate-Resilient Development: A Framework for Understanding and Addressing Climate Change
March 2014
CCRD Program(s): Climate-resilient Development Framework
Description: This report
describes the Climate-resilient Development Framework, a “development-first”
approach to climate change adaptation. The framework recommends practitioners use
climate analyses to complement those normally undertaken in the course of development
planning; this helps ensure that current and future climate variability does
not hinder progress on existing development goals. The intended audience for
this report includes development and adaptation practitioners; city planners;
resource managers; and other decision-makers in national, regional, and local
governments.
The report discusses the rationale behind
climate-resilient development and describes the five stages of the framework.
Other key content includes: an
adaptation-focused glossary, a compilation of resources for scoping actions, a
list of potential assessment criteria for adaptation options, examples of
relevant project work from Jamaica and the Philippines, and a guide to
sector-specific direct and indirect climate impacts.
