ABSTRACT

Climate compatible development (CCD) is a deliberate policy framework that reduces climate-related harm while increasing development opportunities when its three components – adaptation, mitigation, and development – are pursued jointly. In this viewpoint article, we use three island case studies – urban infrastructure improvements in the Solomon Islands, clean energy transitions in Hawaii, and sustainable tourism in the Seychelles – to argue that, in practice, CCD is not always deliberate and that a focus on one component can have unintended but positive outcomes for the others. These case studies illustrate the potential for “triple wins”, including lower emissions, increased resilience, and accelerated development.

摘要

气候兼容型发展 (CCD) 是一个经过深思熟虑的政策框架，当它的三个组成部分——适应、减缓和发展——被共同追求时，它可以减少与气候相关的危害，同时增加发展机会。在这篇观点文章中，我们使用三个岛屿案例研究——所罗门群岛的城市基础设施改善、夏威夷的清洁能源转型和塞舌尔的可持续旅游业——来论证，在实践中，CCD 并不总是经过深思熟虑的，而是将重点放在一个组成部分可能会对其他组成部分产生意想不到但积极的结果。这些案例研究说明了“三赢”的潜力，包括降低排放、提高复原力和加速发展。
