This framework is designed to facilitate the systematic inclusion of climate considerations in development decision-making. The framework’s objective is to support the development process by assisting development practitioners in identifying, evaluating, selecting, implementing, and adjusting actions to reduce climate vulnerabilities and improve development outcomes. The framework focuses on how climate can be incorporated into existing planning and decision-making processes – also known as mainstreaming – and focuses on achieving development goals – which is called a “development-first” approach in this report. It provides a five-stage, systematic process for understanding and prioritising current and projected climate-related vulnerabilities: Scope, Asses, Design, Implement and Manage, Evaluate and Adjust. Climate-resilient development is about adding considerations of climate variability and climate change to development decision-making in order to ensure that progress toward development goals now includes consideration of climate impacts.
