Chapter 1evALuAtiOn HiGHLiGHts• The World Bank Group’s Strategic Frameworkon Development and Climate Change promotesnational sustainable development andglobal action.• Prior to the Strategic Framework, the WorldBank Group had limited objectives specificallyrelated to climate change, but many of itsactivities have potential mitigation benefits.• The evaluation draws lessons from that experience,seeking ways for the World Bank Groupto maximize its impact on development andclimate change mitigation.• Within the areas of energy, forestry, andtransport, this evaluation looks at specificsubsectors that illustrate the challengesto overcoming barriers to the adoption oflow-carbon technologies and practices.Photo by Kenneth M.
