Holding climate action accountable to the rural poor: Knowledge and evidence generation to foster inclusive climate actions and transformational change

29 September 2021

14:30 – 16:00 CEST

This event will feature new evidence on, and approaches to generating evidence on, fostering inclusive climate actions in rural spaces. It will include insights from behavioural science and evidence from institutional and technological approaches for enhancing the capacity of the rural poor to adapt to climate change: for example, in the upgrading of value chains, payments for ecosystem services, farmer field schools, social protection and economic inclusion, the digitalization of agriculture, and other areas.

The session will also share innovative practices for measuring the impacts of climate actions more cost-effectively. The examples will highlight how embedding impact evaluations into climate-financed projects supports the improved design and implementation of these projects and contributes to broader knowledge generation around strategies for fostering inclusivity in global climate investments.
