This report covers Tearfund's, developing countries', developed countries' and multilaterals' experiences of integration to date, including a number of tools and processes, combining climate change adaptation, environmental sustainability and disaster risk reduction. It sets out some international policy and financial prerequisites for any action on adaptation, and also briefly outlines the methodology for the report.

The report unpacks the terms 'integration' and 'mainstreaming', and looks at the benefits and challenges of integration. It also gives some recommendations which offer building blocks for enhancing intersectoral and multistakeholder alliances in achieving sustainable climate change adaptation programmes.
