In 2015, the international community set itself ambitious targets for climate change mitigation in the 2030 Agenda, its Sustainable Development Goals, and the Paris Agreement. The most important of these targets is limiting the global temperature increase to well below 2 °C and, if possible, below 1.5 °C compared to pre-industrial times. The German Institute for Development Evaluation (DEval) has examined the relevance, effectiveness and impact of mitigation-relevant Development Cooperation by the German Federal Ministry (BMZ) and the donor community of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) as well as identified the prerequisites for evaluating its efficiency. This policy brief presents key findings and recommendations of this evaluation study.
