In the context of climate change, for instance, the impetus for low-emission development strategies was a perceived need to more cohesively pursue dual objectives of low emissions and development goals (see Clapp, Brinerand Karousakis, 2010). Similarly, just as “aligning policies for a low-carbon economy” is directly associated with mainstreaming climate objectives into other sectors of the economy (OECD, 2015a), mainstreaming biodiversity and development could, for example, also be described as pursuing inclusive green growth for biodiversity and/or aligning policies for a resource-efficient economy. A number of the lessons and insights are relevant for how to mainstream biodiversity more effectively. Earlier work on biodiversity mainstreaming highlights the need to better assess mainstreaming efforts, to use these to inform policy making and to develop learning networks at regional and global scale (Huntley and Redford, 2014). Mainstreaming biodiversity is crucial for all countries, as recognised by the parties to the CBD and the SDGs. A broad range of countries are therefore examined to ensure that various challenges are considered.
