Coherence as the process of joint and integrated policy making: At the interface of sustainable development, adaptation to climate change and disaster risk management. Lessons learned from Germany
The in-depth case analysis of Germany aims to contribute to filling a gap by exploring emerging good practices and practical learnings on fostering coherence. To date, the research on good examples of coherent policy processes under the different agendas is limited. Further, the research does not provide any practical recommendations and lessons learned on the necessary enabling factors and mechanisms that would help create functional linkages for a coherent approach toward the systematic implementation of the global agendas.
This analysis showcases key mechanisms and enabling factors that contribute to the development of a coherent approach across different levels of governance in Germany. The case study also captures lessons learned and translates them into good practices. These practices can be applied by decision-makers in developed and developing countries as well as emerging economies.
