摘要
In the face of climate change and with the vision for the future of humanity represented by the Sustainability Development Goals,sustainability has become associated with the major and rapid transformation of global systems and the resilience of transformed systems to adapt over time.This dynamic view of transformation has implications for both the design of tran sformatio nal energy in itiatives and their evaluation.As there is an urge nt n eed to evaluate the scale,scope,nature,and sufficiency of transformation toward planetary sustainability,a framework(model)is proposed to determine the most effective en ergy evaluati on capacity buildi ng strategies for achievi ng various in dividual and group level outcomes,most effective strategies for certain types of participants,and design of different strategies to maximize their impact in a sustainable way.Furthermore,a new energy evaluation organization is identified,which is expected to lead us into this new era.
In the face of climate change and with the vision for the future of humanity represented by the Sustainability Development Goals, sustainability has become associated with the major and rapid transformation of global systems and the resilience of transformed systems to adapt over time. This dynamic view of transformation has implications for both the design of transformational energy initiatives and their evaluation. As there is an urgent need to evaluate the scale, scope, nature, and sufficiency of transformation toward planetary sustainability, a framework(model) is proposed to determine the most effective energy evaluation capacity building strategies for achieving various individual and group level outcomes, most effective strategies for certain types of participants, and design of different strategies to maximize their impact in a sustainable way. Furthermore, a new energy evaluation organization is identified, which is expected to lead us into this new era.
