2022 CES Conference / Congrès 2022 de la SCÉ

The world is facing unprecedented environmental threats yet evaluation with its focus on human systems is paying scant attention to sustainability and climate and contributing little to efforts to forestall the climate and sustainability crises. The first half of the workshop will provide an overview of current core elements for evaluating sustainability and climate and working in small groups identify how they might implement these. Changing well entrenched practices is challenging when the intellectual infrastructure for evaluation focuses on human system matters. In the second half of the workshops presenters and participants will undertake several thought experiments during which presenters will provide some important tools and processes developed by Footprint Evaluation specifically for addressing human and natural systems together. An important ambition is to identify further strategies and actions that participants feel would assist them to become sustainability-ready evaluators.
