mitigation, and adaptation. This book aims to provide an authoritative interdisciplinary perspective of innovative and emerging evaluation knowledge and practice
around climate change and development. It focuses on lessons learned and gained
from evaluating climate change projects, programs, and policies as they link to
sustainable development, from the perspectives of international organizations,
NGOs, multilateral and bilateral aid agencies, and the academia. Authors share
methodologies and approaches used to better understand problems and assess
interventions, strategies, and policies. They also share challenges encountered,
what was done to solve these, and lessons learned from evaluations. Collectively,
the authors illustrate the importance of evaluation in providing evidence to guide
policy change and informed decision-making.
This book is written for policymakers, program and project proponents, practitioners, academics, and other informed audiences concerned with climate change,
sustainable development, and evaluation.
