Upcoming M&E for Just Transition Community of Practice Session!

Join our M&E for Just Transition Community of Practice session exploring a hot topic: 🔍 Artificial Intelligence & Climate Change: Opportunities and Contradictions in African Evaluation.

Artificial intelligence is becoming a highly used tool in evaluation, for issue scoping, data collection, preparation and analysis. Generative AI’s superior ability to process vast amounts of text data efficiently as a critical starting point for interpretation reflects just some of AI’s value in evaluative work.

Like most big-tech, AI also generates significant natural resource demands and negative environmental outputs. In the African context, where the effects of climate change are disproportionate to the emissions most generate, this poses a critical moral question for debate, particularly when we think about the resource-wars in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

This CoP session will be an exploratory discussion about the contributions and contradictions of AI in evaluation, particularly in Africa, where issues of climate justice and Just Transition are very real.

AI is reshaping evaluation, but at what cost to the planet? Let’s unpack the implications together.
