Past IPCC Assessment Reports have consistently examined extensive literature on the links between climate change, adaptation and sustainable development . However, studies that explicitly refer to CRD as a concept or a guide for policy and practice remain modest . The concept of CRD appeared in scholarly literature and development program documents over a decade ago  and has been used in more recent IPCC assessment reports and special reports . Similarly, the use of the term climate resilient development pathways  dates to 2009 , but its use accelerated after appearing in United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change  publications around the launch of the Green Climate Fund . While this chapter prioritises the CRD literature, it also recognises that a broad range of literature, disciplinary expertise and development practice is relevant to the concept of CRD.
