This desk review assesses the current state of evaluation of climate change adaptation interventions (CCAI) and identifies next stages. It finds that the evaluation of CCAI raises considerable challenges. No single intervention will deliver climate change adaptation. CCAI are diverse, cutting across sectors and scales. They are often funded from an international level and need to deliver outcomes down to the household level. They need to enable unknown changes to be tackled over the next decades and are delivered through a variety of institutional delivery mechanisms. There are known barriers and constraints to their delivery.
