促进包容性和可持续的经济和社会发展，同时适应气候变化影响和减少温室气体排放——气候兼容发展（CCD）——需要跨多个部门的连贯政策方法。本文开发并应用定性内容分析来评估南部非洲十个国家的国家部门政策，以确定它们在水、农业、林业和能源方面的方法及其与《防治荒漠化公约》三个维度（发展、气候适应和气候减缓）目标的兼容性。结果表明，部门政策目前仅部分支持向《防治荒漠化公约》的转变，各国政府优先考虑补充和削弱《防治荒漠化公约》的方法。农业提供了最多数量的潜在可行方法，能够实现防治荒漠化公约固有的发展、适应和减缓目标，而能源则最少。各国政府应重点制定连贯的跨部门方法，以实现潜在的三赢，以促进新形式的包容性和可持续经济和社会发展，同时促进适应气候变化影响并支持缓解活动。这样做也将大大有助于确保实现《巴黎气候协定》的可持续发展目标（SDG）和国家自主贡献（NDC）所需的进展。
Promoting inclusive and sustainable economic and social development whilst simultaneously adapting to climate change impacts and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions - Climate Compatible Development (CCD) - requires coherent policy approaches that span multiple sectors. This paper develops and applies a qualitative content analysis to assess national sector policies of ten southern African countries to determine their approaches for water, agriculture, forestry and energy and their compatibility with the aims of the three dimensions of CCD (development, climate adaptation and climate mitigation). Results indicate that sector policies currently only partially support shifts towards CCD, with approaches that both complement and detract from CCD being prioritized by national governments. Agriculture offers the greatest number of potentially viable approaches capable of achieving the development, adaptation and mitigation aims inherent in CCD, while energy the least. National governments should focus on developing coherent, cross-sector approaches that deliver such potential triple wins in order to promote new forms of inclusive and sustainable economic and social development, whilst facilitating adaptation to climate change impacts and supporting mitigation activities. Doing so will also go a long way towards ensuring the progress needed for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to the Paris Climate Agreement.
