WFP Climate Impact Evaluation Forum

Emerging Impact Evaluation Evidence on Anticipatory Action and Climate Resilience
Organized by the World Food Programme (WFP)

October 7 to 9, 2024

  • 8:00 – 4:30 pm (Asia/Bangkok)
  • 9:00 – 5:30 am (US/Eastern)
  • 6:30 – 3:00 pm (Asia/Kolkata)

Extreme weather events pose one of the biggest threats to global food security. Increasingly, climate disasters like floods, droughts, and cyclones, are striking regions previously unaccustomed to such crises. In the Asia Pacific region, the United Nations World Food Programme work hand-in-hand with several partners to support vulnerable communities preparing, responding, and recovering from climate shocks and stresses. 

The WFP Climate Impact Evaluation Forum from 7-9 October in Bangkok, Thailand brings together over 70 participants from the Asia Pacific region, including governments, UN agencies, academia and climate change policy-makers to promote the use of causal evidence for decision-making, particularly in the areas of climate change and anticipatory action, lead the capacity strengthening for WFP impact evaluation, and support an evidence culture in the Asia Pacific region.
