The UN Development Programme (UNDP) has launched Charting a New Low-Carbon Route to Development in order to go forward with the integration of climate change into development work. The publication suggests that taking the necessary action to tackle climate change will meet with stronger public consensus and be more effective if it helps address local development issues. It addresses options that, when tailored to specific circumstances, could help balance the pursuit of both climate change mitigation and the investments needed to accelerate poverty reduction and development. It also considers how to meet the adaptation needs that many countries will face.
