Societal choices and actions implemented in this decade will 
determine the extent to which medium and long-term development 
pathways will deliver higher or lower climate resilient development 
outcomes. (high conﬁdence) {WGII SPM D.2, WGII SPM D.5, WGII Box TS.8;

Enabling conditions would need to be strengthened in the near-
term and barriers reduced or removed to realise opportunities 
for deep and rapid adaptation and mitigation actions and 
climate resilient development (high conﬁdence) (Figure 4.2). 
These enabling conditions are differentiated by national, regional 
and local circumstances and geographies, according to capabilities, 
and include: equity and inclusion in climate action (see Section 4.4), 
rapid and far-reaching transitions in sectors and system (see Section 
4.5), measures to achieve synergies and reduce trade-
offs with sustainable development goals (see Section 4.6), 
governance and policy improvements (see Section 4.7), access 
to finance, improved international cooperation and technology 
improvements (see Section 4.8), and integration of near-term 
actions across sectors, systems and regions (see Section 4.9).

Barriers to feasibility would need to be reduced or removed 
to deploy mitigation and adaptation options at scale. Many 
limits to feasibility and effectiveness of responses can be overcome 
by addressing a range of barriers, including economic, technological, 
institutional, social, environmental and geophysical barriers. The 
feasibility and effectiveness of options increase with integrated, 
multi-sectoral solutions that differentiate responses based on climate 
risk, cut across systems and address social inequities.
