Synergies between adaptation, mitigation and sustainable development might be promoted by prioritising those CRD strategies most likely to generate synergies  . This could include focusing on poverty alleviation that improves adaptive capacity ; renewable energy systems that improve water management and preservation of river ecological integrity ; or internalising positive externalities, such as subsidies for mitigation options thought to also improve water use efficiency . Similarly, trade- offs might be managed by prioritising strategies such as disqualifying mitigation options thought to have negative social implications , internalising externalities, such as placing a fee or constraint on a negative externality or related activity  , or using complementary policies, such as transfer payments to offset negative mitigation, adaptation or sustainable development strategy implications  . Roy et al.  discusses the latter, noting, for instance, the possibility of complementary sustainable development payments to avoid global energy access, food security and clean water trade-offs .
