The Blue Economy encompasses sustainable use of ocean resources for economic growth, improved livelihoods, and jobs while preserving the health of ocean ecosystems. Development policies integrating the Blue Economy concept work to address climate change through maritime and coastal sustainability.

Climate finance refers to funding allocated for climate change mitigation and adaptation projects. Developmental assistance policies may prioritize access to this finance, especially for developing countries to adapt to climate impacts and transition to low-carbon technologies.

Climate-resilient development involves designing and implementing policies that incorporate climate adaptation measures into development planning. It aims to reduce vulnerability to climate impacts while pursuing economic growth.

The circular economy model emphasizes reuse, sharing, repair, refurbishment, remanufacturing and recycling to create a closed-loop system, minimizing waste. Development policies building on this concept aim to create sustainable consumption patterns that respond to climate change pressures.

Loss and damage refer to the impacts of climate change that cannot be prevented through mitigation or adaptation. Developmental frameworks like the Warsaw International Mechanism address loss and damage by providing support to affected communities and nations.

The SDGs are a set of 17 goals adopted by the UN to address global challenges including poverty, inequality, climate change, and environmental degradation. Climate-related targets influence developmental policies to focus on resilience to climate impacts and transitions to low-carbon economies.

A green economy is one that aims for sustainable development without degrading the environment. Climate-conscious developmental policies promote investment in green technologies and industries, reducing reliance on fossil fuels.

ETS, also known as cap-and-trade systems, are market-based approaches to controlling pollution by providing economic incentives for reducing emissions. Development policies incorporating ETS encourage industries to innovate and invest in cleaner technologies.

Carbon footprint reduction is a key strategy in climate-conscious development, involving the implementation of policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through energy efficiency, conservation, and cleaner energy sources.

Food security in the context of climate change involves ensuring that all people have access to sufficient, safe, nutritious food, despite the impacts on agriculture due to changing weather patterns. Development policies promote resilient agricultural practices, crop diversification, and infrastructure to withstand climate extremes.

Climate change adaptation refers to adjustments in systems in response to climate change. Development policies integrating adaptation work towards reducing vulnerability and building resilience, particularly in sectors like agriculture, water, and health.
