Linking climate finance and development impacts
Climate action and development are inextricably linked. This link has been confirmed by a new independent evaluation that assesses and analyzes how climate finance programs can lead to broader social, economic, environmental, and market development impacts.
The report, “Evaluation of the Development Impacts from CIF’s Investments,” finds that although development impacts can generate derivative benefits from climate finance programs, these impacts are often not planned for, or understood, and hence not tracked in implementation.
The Climate Investment Funds (CIF) invites you to join us and explore some of these gaps in designing, planning, and tracking development impacts. The event will work through the invaluable evidence that draws on CIF’s extensive investment portfolio and will demonstrate how measurement and modeling can be used to assess high-priority development impacts to support more informed investment decision-making.
The evaluation writers, researchers, project implementers, country partners and others will come together to discuss how this study expands the knowledge base on climate finance and development impacts. This virtual event will provide tangible takeaways and give participants a platform to share their own reflections and experiences.
