Measuring Impacts for Increased Transparency and Results
The current global crisis presents a unique opportunity to put climate resilience at the center of conversations about what truly matters and how to build a better future for all. This podcast series explores 10 solutions for a climate-resilient post-recovery through conversations with international thought leaders.
Episode Overview
In this episode, we talk with Cathy Lee about the importance of measuring impacts to ensure that funds genuinely support sustainable, climate-smart, and inclusive initiatives, and contribute to building back better.
She explains why standards must go beyond “do no harm” to women, and highlights the W+ Standard, which ensures transparency in evaluating women’s empowerment claims — guaranteeing that benefits promised in projects are actually delivered.
