The role of evaluation for climate action: A post-COP26 dialogue on how evaluative evidence can help deliver the Paris Agreement

Date of the event

Join WFP Evaluation & Partners for a Post-COP26 dialogue

Thursday 9 December | 14.00-15.30 (CET)

The global community is responding to the climate crisis. But how do we know our actions are working or not? How do we gather the right evidence to learn valuable lessons? How must evaluation practices evolve to help tackle the most important challenge of our times?

Building on the outcomes of the recent UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26), this event aims to facilitate a dialogue on the role that evaluation can play in realising the goals of the Paris Agreement.
