Abstract This chapter of the WGIII contribution to IPCC AR5 provides an assessment of knowledge and practice on regional development and cooperation to achieve climate change mitigation. It examines the regional trends and dimensions of the mitigation challenge. It also analyzes what role regional initiatives, both with a focus on climate change and in other domains such as trade, can play in addressing these mitigation challenges.
