From the Executive Summary

This document is primarily intended for decision makers and development policy experts in donor organisations. It aims to clarify the linkages between the global environmental issues on the one hand, and sustainable development and poverty reduction on the other. It also aims to provide insights on how development co-operation agencies can support developing countries’ efforts to integrate responses to global environmental threats into their national poverty reduction and other development plans. We know from experience that the most effective assistance is that which supports country-led development programmes, and that builds on rather than substitutes for partners’ own efforts. Therefore, the analysis and the recommendations in this document are relevant for donors as well as their partners. It is hoped therefore that they will be of use to developing country policy makers. While this document concentrates on the three “Rio Conventions” – which concern climate change, loss of biodiversity and desertification, many of its findings apply equally to other global or regional environmental issues.
