Climate Change Adaptation Policies Across the Globe: Does it Help in Sustainable Development?

Mafizur Rahman, Dong Huang and Shahriar Islam

This paper analyzes the interrelationship between the globalization of climate change adaptation policy and the philosophy of sustainable development. The analysis critically includes the philosophical arguments to bolster the current debate about the globalization of climate change adaptation policies and different strategies to ensure sustainable development. The philosophical argument presents the platform for further research on the issue of a merger between the two phenomena. This paper intends to answer the question as to what extent the globalized application of climate change adaptation policies secures the ground for sustainable development. The analysis shows that a successful acknowledgment of the difference and exiting similarities can open the door to an effective integration as desired and framed by SDG. It means a careful and thought driven integration between sustainable development and climate change adaptation policy can bolster the compatible relationship between the two of the most talked concepts in the field of social sciences which would benefit the sustenance and peaceful growth of human civilization.
