This Open Access book addresses the pressing question of how to achieve transformational change that reconciles development with environmental sustainability, with a particular focus on the role of evaluation in finding sustainable solutions.

Rooted in the Third International Conference on Evaluating Environment and Development, organized by the GEF Independent Evaluation Office in October 2019, the book brings together key thinkers and practitioners from multilateral organizations, bilateral donor agencies, and the public and private sectors to present the latest knowledge and experience on evaluating interventions at the nexus of environment and development.

What the book covers:

• Insights from leading evaluators and practitioners at the forefront of environment and development evaluation in an international context
• Concrete cases and clear lessons from evaluations spanning climate change mitigation and adaptation, energy efficiency and renewable energy, natural resource management, and biodiversity conservation
• How evaluation can inform policy, strategy, and resource allocation in support of the Sustainable Development Goals
