This working paper documents Ethiopia's lessons from the study ‘Lessons from national climate compatible development planning', which aimed to capture and share institutional experiences of climate compatible development and provide recommendations for the future.

The publication includes the following recommendations for decision-makers and development practitioners:

• Financing from international climate funds should be available to countries that pursue a holistic, ambitious and nationally driven development agenda.
• Engagement by political champions enhances the development and implementation of the governance and institutional arrangements, strategies and frameworks needed for climate compatible development.
• Robust governance and institutional structures form a strong basis for establishing effective cross-government working relations.
• Collaboration between the ministries responsible for finance and the environment creates a solid platform for the coordinated implementation and mainstreaming of climate compatible development into national development plans.
• Commitment, ownership, nationally driven investments and the demonstration of results on the ground are critical for unlocking additional finance to implement climate compatible development programmes and projects.
• In planning and mainstreaming climate compatible development, decision-makers should give consideration to long-term technical and institutional capacity development.
