Not losing sight of the Climate Change agenda in the post-pandemic recovery: What evaluations can do.
At the end of the session, participants will be aware of possible issues related to a post-pandemic recovery and how it may influence the financial investments and commitments of the national governments, donors, and multilateral institutions toward the Climate Change agenda.
The session poses the questions: What will a global post-pandemic recovery look like, and how will it affect investments towards Climate Change adaptation and mitigation?
What intersections exist between investments in COVID recovery and Climate Change actions? How can synergies be built?
How can this COVID recovery and Climate Change nexus be positioned as a result area and as an evaluative theme? What could be the role of evaluators and M&E practitioners in this changing paradigm?
The session will begin with a short presentation of the UNDP’s recent evaluation of the Climate Change Adaptation and continue with facilitated a panel discussion.
