NO This reference manual provides guidance on integrated policymaking for sustainable development by incorporating economic, social, and environmental considerations throughout the policy process. It presents an approach that applies an integration filter across the continuous policy cycle, covering agenda setting, policy formulation, decision-making, implementation, and evaluation. The manual draws on experience from sustainability-oriented policy assessment and developments in public policy science. It addresses stakeholder participation, inter-agency coordination, policy analysis, decision criteria, implementation challenges, resource mobilisation, monitoring, evaluation, and policy learning. It also considers political support, administrative capacity, and analytical capacity as factors affecting policymaking. Examples, particularly concerning climate change, illustrate the application of the approach across different stages of the policy cycle.
