1. the implementation of climate change and development policy at national scale, in accordance with the countries national priorities and the linkage with the parameters of the international policy regime, and within the national policy system in terms of the relationship between and incorporation of climate policy in other policy sectors.
2. the international policy regimes, in terms of incorporation/encouraging of mainstreaming mechanisms and guidance at the country-level
