Literature Analysis: Mapping Policy Frameworks that Support Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation in the Context of Sustainable Development

This paper analyzes climate change mitigation and adaptation policies within sustainable development. With rising global temperatures and worsening environmental impacts, climate change has become a pressing global issue. This study emphasizes the integration of mitigation strategies (greenhouse gas reduction) and adaptation strategies (enhancing resilience to climate impacts) into sustainable development policies across sectors, including energy, transportation, agriculture, water management, and urban planning. It also examines the challenges of implementing these policies in developing countries, such as resource limitations and the need for interdepartmental coordination. Employing a qualitative approach and literature review, this research identifies essential elements for an effective policy framework, such as inter-agency coordination, performance metrics, and funding and monitoring mechanisms. Case studies from different countries demonstrate successful integration of climate mitigation and adaptation policies into sustainable development agendas. These insights aim to support policymakers in designing comprehensive, sustainable strategies aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement.
