里约+20会议成果文件《我们希望的未来》将绿色经济视为实现可持续发展的平台之一，并呼吁采取措施，设法应对气候变化和生物多样性管理。本文审计了选定的东非和南部非洲国家的气候变化政策，以确定气候变化立法将生物多样性和野生动物管理纳入主流的程度。对国际、大陆、区域和国家气候变化政策进行了扫描，以评估这些政策是否包括生物多样性和/或野生动物管理问题。关键的发现是，许多与气候变化政策有关的文件，特别是《国家适应行动方案》，都涉及对生物多样性和野生动物资源的威胁。然而，《联合国气候变化框架公约》和《京都议定书》等国际政策并没有涉及正在审议的问题。东非共同体、东部和南部非洲共同市场和非洲联盟等区域气候变化政策处理生物多样性和/或野生动植物问题，而南部非洲发展共同体区域没有单独的气候变化政策。卢旺达、乌干达、坦桑尼亚和赞比亚等进步国家最近制定了详细的国家适应行动方案，这些方案是旨在解决野生动物部门适应气候变化问题的主流应对战略。
The Rio+20 outcomes document, the Future We Want, enshrines green economy as one of the platforms to attain sustainable development and calls for measures that seek to address climate change and biodiversity management. This paper audits climate change policies from selected east and southern African countries to determine the extent to which climate change legislation mainstreams biodiversity and wildlife management. A scan of international, continental, regional and national climate change policies was conducted to assess whether they include biodiversity and/or wildlife management issues. The key finding is that many climate change policy–related documents, particularly the National Adaptation Programme of Actions (NAPAs), address threats to biodiversity and wildlife resources. However, international policies like the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and Kyoto Protocol do not address the matter under deliberation. Regional climate change policies such as the East African Community, Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa and African Union address biodiversity and/or wildlife issues whilst the Southern African Development Community region does not have a stand-alone policy for climate change. Progressive countries like Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania and Zambia have recently put in place detailed NAPAs which are mainstream responsive strategies intended to address climate change adaptation in the wildlife sector.
