Climate change has become one of the most important global
issues of our time, with far-reaching natural, socio-economic, and
political effects. To address climate change and development issues
from the perspective of evaluation, an international conference was
held in Alexandria, Egypt. This book distills the essence of that
timely conference, building on the experiences of more than 400
reports and studies presented.
Developing countries may be particularly vulnerable to the
expected onslaught of higher temperatures, rising sea levels,
changing waterfall patterns, and increasing natural disasters. All
societies will have to reduce their vulnerability to these changes,
and this book describes how vulnerabilities may be addressed in a
systematic manner so that governments and local communities may
better understand what is happening. Different approaches are also
discussed, including the use of human security as a criterion for
evaluation as well as ways to deal with risk and uncertainty.
"Evaluating Climate Change and Development" presents a rich variety
of methods to assess adaptation through monitoring and
evaluation.
The volume deals with climate change, development, and
evaluation; challenges and lessons learned from evaluations;
mitigation of climate change; adaptation to climate change;
vulnerability, risks and climate change; and presents a concluding
chapter on the road ahead. Collectively the authors offer a set of
approaches and techniques for the monitoring and evaluation of
climate change.
