Development and Climate Change Project: Concept Paper on Scope and Criteria for Case Study Selection

FOREWORD This document is an output from the OECD Development and Climate Change project, an activity being jointly overseen by the Working Party on Global and Structural Policies (WPGSP), and the Working Party on Development Cooperation and Environment (WPENV). The overall objective of the project is to provide guidance on how to mainstream responses to climate change within economic development planning and assistance policies, with natural resource management as an overarching theme. Insights from the work are therefore expected to have implications for the development assistance community in OECD countries, and national and regional planners in developing countries. This document, written by Shardul Agrawala and Martin Berg, outlines the analytical framework that was used to establish case studies for the project. It is therefore an interim product that is intended to guide early thinking on the work. The products that eventually emerge from the process may ultimately differ in both scope and content from the orientations described herein. of the OECD Secretariat for their comments on earlier drafts. The paper does not necessarily represent the views of either the OECD or its Member countries. It is published under the responsibility of the Secretary General.
