The triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss and environmental pollution threatens the long-term sustainability of human development and well-being. Addressing these crises requires integrated approaches since underlying drivers and pressures are strongly interconnected. This policy paper analyses examples of best practices of integrated solutions, as well as cross-sectoral governance and policy mechanisms identified in national policies and strategies of seven country case studies from different regions in the world: Brazil, Rwanda, Colombia, Sweden, Japan, New Zealand, and Panama.
