Much of this literature is assessed in recent IPCC Special Reports , but new studies have continued to emerge. More specific uses of CRD found in the literature describe development that seeks to achieve poverty reduction and adaptation to climate change simultaneously without explicit mention of mitigation , as well as mitigation and poverty reduction, described as 'low-carbon development', without explicit mention of adaptation . Other similar terms include 'climate safe', 'climate compatible' and 'climate smart' development , each with varying nuances. Climate compatible development, coined by Mitchell and Maxwell , specifically describes a 'triple win' of adaptation, mitigation and development  . In this spirit, AR5 specifically referred to CRD as 'development trajectories that combine adaptation and mitigation to realize the goal of sustainable development' . This chapter builds on the AR5 and, for the purposes of assessment, formally defines CRD as a process of implementing greenhouse gas mitigation and adaptation measures to support sustainable development for all. This extension of the earlier definition reflects the emphasis in recent literature on equity as a core element of sustainable development as well as the objective of the SDGs to 'create conditions for sustainable, inclusive and sustained economic growth, shared prosperity and decent work for all, taking into account different levels of national development and capacities' .
