This guide introduces a practical tool called the Footprint Evaluation Typology. This tool helps evaluators and decision makers answer a critical question: How much is the project, program, or policy we are evaluating beneficial or harmful to the environment? As evaluators, one of our key responsibilities is to ensure our conclusions are not only valid but crystal clear, so that decision-makers can fully understand the severity of any actual or potential impacts on natural systems. That’s what allows them to manage the intervention to benefit both people and nature.
