The chapter assesses newer literature about the synergies and trade- offs for the poorest and most vulnerable people and groups between adaptation-mitigation and sustainable development strategies, which societies must negotiate in order to pursue climate resilient develop- ment. It explores synergies and mismatches in key development sectors that the poorest rely on, including agriculture, forestry and energy. It identifies the development strategies, elements of institutional design and financial mechanisms that could support risk reduction and adap- tation. Our assessment reveals that successful adaptation is not solely a question of levels of funding, but depends on broader institutional design that determine societal development and enabling conditions for adaptation to and mitigation of climate change.
