The richer countries spend about US$165 billion yearly on overseas
aid, mainly to keep human development going. These efforts are
undermined by climate change, water-catchment damage, biodiversity
loss, and desertification, and their interactions with social
systems at all scales, which few aid designs or evaluations fully
address. This must change if aid performance is to be improved.
Constraints to be overcome include limited understanding of the
very complex systems that aid investments affect, and of the
ecology behind climate change adaptation and mitigation. Aid
Performance and Climate Change targets these problems and others,
by explaining how to use multiple points of view to describe each
aid investment as a complex system in its own unique context. With
examples throughout, it reviews cases, ideas, and options for
mitigation using technology and ecology, and for adaptation by
preserving resilience and diversity, while exploring related
priorities, treaties, and opportunities. Combining an empirical,
eye-witness approach with methodological conclusions, this book is
an essential resource for those looking to improve aid design and
evaluation, and will be a necessary tool in training the next
generation of aid professionals to respond to the causes and
consequences of climate change.
