For today’s decisions to be sustainable, they need to include choices and actions that reduce poverty and improve livelihoods, counteract climate change and are equitable towards the vulnerable. Climate-resilient development pathways are a practice that aims to achieve these goals, enabling decision-makers to identify, consolidate and implement climate action and development decisions towards sustainable development. To date, there is little evidence regarding how the practice can be navigated in real-world situations. Guidance on monitoring, evaluating and learning from experience specifically for climate-resilient development pathways is largely lacking. For this article, we reviewed the literature and held reflexive sessions with experts, synthesising different perspectives to present seven process-based monitoring, evaluation and learning requirements for climate-resilient development pathways. We close with discussing the applicability of the requirements and where further research is needed. In doing so, we address an important but underrepresented topic in the expanding body of literature on climate-resilient development pathways.

为了使今天的决定具有可持续性，它们需要包括减少贫困、改善生计、应对气候变化以及对弱势群体公平的选择和行动。适应气候变化的发展路径是一种旨在实现这些目标的实践，使决策者能够确定、巩固和实施气候行动和发展决策，以实现可持续发展。迄今为止，几乎没有证据表明如何在现实世界中进行这种实践。专门针对适应气候变化的发展路径的监测、评估和经验学习指南在很大程度上缺乏。在本文中，我们回顾了文献并与专家举行了反思会议，综合不同的观点提出了七种基于流程的监控，适应气候变化的发展路径的评估和学习要求。我们最后讨论了要求的适用性以及需要进一步研究的地方。在此过程中，我们解决了有关气候韧性发展路径的文献中一个重要但代表性不足的主题。
