Open Discussion on Integrating Environment into Evaluation
Many people attending the conference are involved in initiatives that seek to change the way evaluation is undertaken in influential institutions. These efforts are sometimes known to each other and in some instances operate independently. The purpose of this session will be to create a sense of shared endeavor. This will be an opportunity for people working on integrating environmental and climate considerations into evaluation practice to update one another on what is being done and to create the potential for participants to connect with one another and explore collaborations. The session will be a facilitated conversation during which participants will introduce their work and explore collaboration opportunities. People attending the session can simply observe it but hopefully will introduce themselves and their work in high level terms. Following the session an inventory of what was presented will be prepared and circulated.
