Join us for a morning of coffee, donuts, and candid, peer-driven conversation with the ANDE Washington, D.C. member community!
This in-person roundtable will explore how organizations are advancing climate mitigation, adaptation, and resilience while using data and evidence to drive impact. Whether you’re a metrics enthusiast, a climate action advocate, or just here for the glaze, this session is your chance to connect, share lessons learned, and dive into strategies, partnerships, and decisions shaping today’s shifting landscape.
This roundtable will bring together ANDE members and partners to explore two interconnected priorities: how our network can respond more effectively to the climate crisis, and how data and evidence can strengthen impact across all areas of our work.
We’ll examine:
- The role of entrepreneurial support actors in advancing climate mitigation, adaptation, and resilience.
- Where organizations can take action now to address emerging climate needs.
- How evidence-based approaches can guide more effective policy and program design in both climate and broader development contexts.
- Success stories, persistent challenges, and emerging opportunities in climate action and evidence use.
- Best practices for organizations new to evidence-informed work.
- Ways ANDE members can collaborate to drive collective impact.
This discussion will be guided by the priorities and experiences of those in the room—whether you’re advancing climate initiatives, deepening your data and evidence practice, or seeking to better understand your role.
