How effective are governments, aid agencies, and civil society organizations in addressing pressing environmental issues? Is evaluation equipped to help decision makers identify, design, implement, and track sustainable development interventions? Can it help accelerate progress towards the objectives of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development?
These are among the questions evoked by Evaluating Environment in International Development, edited by Juha I. Uitto, Director of the Independent Evaluation Office of the Global Environment Facility (GEF). Informed by the findings of recent climate research, the second edition of this landmark open access publication brings together sixteen essays contributed by eminent development evaluation thinkers and practitioners.
