چکیده
Background note The OECD is developing guidance to support governments and development partners in integrating climate change adaptation into their development strategies. To inform the development of that guidance, the OECD is coordinating two country case studies (Ethiopia and Colombia) and an Expert Workshop on " Climate Resilience and Economic Growth in Developing Countries " that will be held in Paris on 24 April 2013. This paper is intended to support the discussion at the expert workshop, by summarising the current knowledge in this area and highlighting some of the key challenges and emerging issues to be discussed at the workshop.
