Climate compatible development (CCD) is gaining traction as a conceptual framework for mainstreaming climate change mitigation and adaptation within development efforts. Understanding whether and how CCD design processes reconcile different stakeholder preferences can reveal how the concept contends with patterns of sociocultural and political oppression that condition patterns of development. We, therefore, explore procedural justice and power within CCD design through a case study analysis of two donor-funded projects in Malawi. Findings show that donor agencies are driving design processes and involving other stakeholders selectively. While considerable overlap existed between stakeholders’ “revealed” priorities for CCD, invisible power dynamics encourage the suppression of “true” preferences, reducing the likelihood that CCD will be contextually appropriate and have widespread stakeholder buy in. Visible, hidden, and invisible forms of power create barriers to procedural justice in CCD design. We present five recommendations to help policy makers and practitioners to overcome these barriers.

在气候兼容开发项目设计中探索权力和程序正义

气候兼容发展 (CCD) 作为将减缓和适应气候变化纳入发展努力的主流的概念框架正在获得关注。了解 CCD 设计过程是否以及如何调和不同的利益相关者偏好可以揭示该概念如何与影响发展模式的社会文化和政治压迫模式相抗衡。因此，我们通过对马拉维两个捐助者资助项目的案例研究分析，探索 CCD 设计中的程序正义和权力。调查结果表明，捐助机构正在推动设计过程并有选择地让其他利益相关者参与进来。虽然利益相关者对 CCD 的“公开”优先事项之间存在相当大的重叠，但无形的权力动态鼓励抑制“真正”的偏好，降低 CCD 适合上下文并获得广泛利益相关者认可的可能性。可见、隐藏和不可见的权力形式对 CCD 设计中的程序正义造成了障碍。我们提出了五项建议，以帮助政策制定者和从业者克服这些障碍。
