Learning papers

The IEU engages with and contributes to debates on climate evaluation, low-emission pathways and climate-resilient development. The IEU Learning Paper Series encourages discussion on these topics and distributes findings from the Unit’s work. The authors are IEU staff, consultants or are from partner organisations.
