This meta-analysis report builds on the evidence gap map (EGM) and intervention heat map (IHM) that examines the evidence regarding the effectiveness of climate change adaptation interventions and linked financial flows...

This evidence review describes the evidence base on private sector investment in mitigation and assess and describes the modes of funding for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions.  The approach paper and approach brief...

The results of the synthetic review show that the evidence on this topic is still limited and spread across various sectors and interventions, with most evidence in the energy, industrial and agricultural sectors. The...

This evidence review describes the evidence base on private sector investment in mitigation and describes the modes of funding for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. 

Results-based payment interventions involves a funder who agrees to make payments to agents for achieving pre-agreed, verified results. In so doing, result-based payment interventions convene multiple agents to achieve...

Results-based payments provide funding conditional on actions undertaken by target beneficiaries and verified by third parties. This approach paper outlines that this evidence review will adopt a broad approach to take...

The final report and final brief offer examples of transformational change in the energy and public health sectors at scale, with depth and duration. We identify lessons on transformational change from these two sectors...

This evidence gap map plots studies on the effectiveness of interventions for women’s empowerment in developing countries. The evidence gap map shows most evidence is from Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, especially...

The protocol for this evidence review describes the selection of life skills interventions for the meta-analysis. It also explains the methods used for the systematic review.  

Global water resources are severely affected by the changing climate. However, our understanding of the impact of key interventions, particularly in coastal zones and certain types of terrestrial water projects, is...

Based on a rigorous protocol and companion evidence gap map, our systematic review conducts meta-analyses of water sector interventions in four areas: built infrastructure, nature-based options, institutional...

Just transition is now a key element of climate change debates. To date, most learning on just transitions has come from developed countries. This review is the first to provide a rigorous and precise realist summary of...

Effective involvement of the private sector is key for closing financing gaps and enhancing climate action. Of the multilateral climate funds, the GCF has the strongest private sector focus and houses a private sector...

Of the multilateral climate funds, the GCF has the strongest private sector focus and houses a private sector facility that enables it to finance directly and indirectly at the national, regional and international...

The synthetic review highlights commonalities across the four selected approaches to inform learning within the GCF and, more broadly, across the climate finance landscape.

While being the primary agent of mitigation and adaptation, human behaviours are the least studied aspect of climate change. With climate change intensifying globally each year, both mitigation and adaptation present...

The systematic review evaluates the ability of life skills interventions to promote the empowerment of women of all ages. Overall, life skills positively affect a range of self, social and economic empowerment outcomes...
