Beyond Effectiveness: Transformational change in Climate Change Interventions
Mesa redonda | En línea
Sobre el evento
Transformational change in climate adaptation requires not just effective interventions, but also a profound understanding of the systems and contexts in which interventions are embedded, as well as the conditions and potential lens for catalyzing and sustaining change based on the evidence found. This session will tackle a main question for evaluators working towards transformative change:
What are the biggest challenges and opportunities in driving transformational change in both adaptation and mitigation interventions? What’s the evidence? How can we work together to overcome these challenges and seize the opportunities?
Panel Discussion (40 min):
- Panelist 1: Rasec Niembro -GEF IEO Evaluation Analyst-
- Panelist 2: Kseniya Temnenko -GEF IEO Evaluation Specialist-
- Panelist 3: Michael Robert Ward -Senior Evaluation Specialist at the Climate Investment Funds (CIF)-
Q&A (20 min)
Expected Outcomes:
Policy stakeholders gain a deeper understanding of how evaluation can inform transformative strategies.
Participants learn practical approaches for using evaluation findings to identify conditions for transformative change.
Collaborative discussion fosters new insights on how to navigate challenges and support policy frameworks for long-term success of adaptation and mitigation interventions.
This session contributes to the gLOCAL 2024 by:
Highlighting the role of evaluation in balancing ambition and realism. We will move beyond simply measuring project success to analyzing how evaluation can guide thinking into a systems approach for broader transformation in climate change action.
