Evaluation
Effective environmental policy-making relies on regular reviews both during and after implementation. Ecologic Institute carries out evaluations to critically examine objectives, impacts, successes, and failures of policies, projects, and institutions. We employ both established and innovative methods in our evaluation work, drawing on approaches from a range of disciplines. Our varied expertise and interdisciplinarity allow us to design novel evaluation processes that produce insightful recommendations.
Ecologic Institute conducts evaluations across a range of policy areas, such as climate mitigation and adaptation, biodiversity, and management of plastic waste. As well as assessing sectoral policies, we also evaluate cross-cutting strategies for sustainability at EU and national level.
