Climate Planning

'A user-orientated comparative analysis of climate compatible development planning methodologies and tools'

Many climate compatible planning methodologies have been developed and are in use across the world. But as yet, there is no comprehensive way for decision-makers to tell which methodologies may be most appropriate to their interests and local circumstances.

This project will consider a range of donor, private sector, NGO and country-led methodologies for climate compatible development strategy building and planning. It aims to close the information gap and enable decision-makers in developing countries to select more appropriate methodologies for their needs.

Key outputs expected from the study include an analytical report comparing existing methodologies, a research paper suitable for journal publication and some simple, user-orientated guidance for developing country decision-makers.
