The main aim of this paper is to outline the policy frameworks and approaches shaping development cooperation actors’ engagement and to identify areas for further exploration and investment. First, we frame the concept of climate mobility and migration and discuss some applicable policy frameworks that govern the issue from various perspectives; secondly, we review the toolbox of approaches that development cooperation actors bring to climate mobility; and third, we discuss the implications of the current Covid-19 pandemic and identify avenues for the way forward.

The Costa Rican planning ministry Mideplan presents this first thematic evaluation from Southern perspective in the scope of the 2030 Agenda. The report is in Spanish and focuses on the topic of the “non-repayable international development interventions in the fields of biodiversity and climate change in Costa Rica in the period from 2010 to 2018”. This is the first time that a partner country has evaluated an entire sector of development cooperation, i.e. the activities of all donors in multiple SDGs.

REDD+ ist ein von der internationalen Gemeinschaft entwickelter Ansatz zum Klimaschutz unter dem Dach der Vereinten Nationen. Ziel von REDD+ ist die Minderung von Nettoemissionen von Treibhausgasen aus Entwaldung und Schädigung von Wäldern, Wiederaufforstung, und nachhaltige Waldbewirtschaftung in Ländern mit niedrigem und mittlerem Einkommen. REDD+ Aktivitäten sind ein wichtiges Instrument für den Klimaschutz, doch die Wirkungen von REDD+ sind kontrovers.
