Policy impact assessments provide invaluable information for policymakers. They help assess how a policy is meeting a country’s targets, including how it is impacting greenhouse gas emissions, and, more broadly, the environment and socio-economic development. They allow leaders to estimate and evaluate both the benefits and the costs of climate action, helping maximize positive outcomes and minimize or mitigate negative impacts.
