These efforts should of course be consistent with any strategies to eradicate poverty and national development plan(s) or planning. Planning, monitoring and reporting at scale will also be required at the national level demanding new data collection analysis and additional resources for this including relevant expertise in government. Maximising the effectiveness of sustainable development finance, including climate finance, will be critical to meeting the targets set out under the SDGs. Environment and climate change mainstreaming has been a practice of OECD DAC members for over a decade (see for example ENVIRONET publications on mainstreaming adaptation into development cooperation, OECD 2009) and the UNFCCC stresses the importance of integrating climate change adaptation into mainstream decision making (see for example LDC Expert Group, 2012).
