The Journey to Rio: Gathering Evidence on Expectations for the GEF

Energy efficiency remains a promising but elusive means for combining local economic benefits with greenhouse gas reductions.

The Global Environment Facility Evaluation Office, in cooperation with the GEF Secretariat and the World Bank Independent Evaluation Group, participated at two exciting side events at COP 17 in Durban, South Africa.

Evaluations provide lessons learned from the first generation of adaptation interventions, from the development of National Adaptation Plans for Action (NAPA) to innovative approaches to specific adaptation problems.

The GEF Evaluation Office organized a panel discussion on the new M&E Policy and participated in a session presenting innovative approaches to evaluating climate change adaptation programs at the conference of the American Evaluation Association in Anaheim in November 2011.
