Principles

  •  Estimation: climate scenarios are uncertain, but better than nothing, usually
  •  No greenwashing: CC is important, but mostly secondary to development
  •  Integrated planning: prioritisation happens in the plan/budget, against a frame
  •  No guff and gloss: all climate actions are not equally urgent
  •  Climate fund roles: use climate funds for studies and capacity-building
