Policy evaluation is an important and well-established part of the
policy process, facilitating and feeding back to promote the
ongoing effectiveness of policies that have been implemented or
anticipating policies in the making. Environmental policy is a
special case, presenting new complexities uncommon to other areas,
which standard evaluation tools are ill-equipped to grapple with.
It is also an area that is experiencing rapid growth throughout the
world and knowledge is now needed at all levels of government and
in NGOs, businesses and other organizations, all of whom are
required to assess the effectiveness of their policies. This
handbook is the first guide to environmental policy evaluation in
practice. Beginning with an introduction to the general principles
of evaluation, it explains the particular complexities native to
the environmental sphere and provides a comprehensive toolkit of
evaluation methods and techniques which the practitioner can employ
and refer to again and again. The authors also consider design
issues which may face the policy evaluator, including involvement
of stakeholders, the sensitivities between them, the a priori
assessment of the evaluability of a field, the maximization of the
utilization of the evaluations outcomes, and much more. Throughout,
the theory is illustrated with practical examples from around the
world, making this the essential companion guide for anyone tasked
with ensuring that environmental policy fulfils its aims and
achieves its potential.
