Sobre o evento
The panel explores how evaluations can be designed and implemented through a climate lens, particularly within climate-vulnerable contexts like the Sundarbans in India. Drawing on multi-disciplinary findings from Terre des hommes' evaluations in health, child protection, and migration in the region, it highlights lessons and best practices for climate-just, equity-focused evaluations that centre local knowledge and resilience- offering insights not only into what we evaluate, but how and for whom we evaluate in the era of climate crisis.
