Abstract

Description

Foundations of Evaluation for Planetary Health offers a comprehensive framework for reimagining evaluation in the context of polycrises. Grounded in the 2024 Earth Day Evaluation Declaration, the book integrates planetary health lenses across all major evaluation questions and steps, from logic models to logic analysis, effect analysis, and implementation analysis, economic evaluation, needs assessment, and monitoring. By embedding planetary health perspectives into mainstream evaluation methodologies, this textbook equips researchers, evaluators, and policymakers with theoretical foundations and practical tools to address environmental and social interdependence in the Anthropocene.
