Part I tracks the outcomes of Bank projects and country programs and the evolution of monitoring and evaluation (M&E). Part II examines the Bank's support for environmentally sustainable development compatible with economic growth and poverty reduction. The Bank's project performance rebounded in 2008, allaying concerns about the weakened performance in 2007. As previous ARDEs have shown, project performance has been improving gradually for 15 years according to the traditional measure -- percent of projects with satisfactory (versus unsatisfactory) outcomes. But IEG ratings of M&E quality for completed projects indicate considerable room for progress. Information to assess impacts continues to be lacking although preliminary data suggests improvements in baseline data collection. Bank support for the environment has recovered since 2002 due to new sources of concessional finance. The outcomes of environment projects have improved in recent years. A growing number of regional projects are addressing the shared use of water resources. New global partnerships are deepening the Bank's involvement in climate change issues. But M&E remains weak: three-quarters of environment-related projects - those managed by sectors other than environment - lack reporting of environmental outcomes. 410 0$aIndependent Evaluation Group Studies 410 0$aWorld Bank e-Library. 606 $aEconomic development projects$xFinance$xEvaluation 606 $aLoans, Foreign$zDeveloping countries$vStatistics 615 0$aEconomic development projects$xFinance$xEvaluation. 615 0$aLoans, Foreign 676 $a658.57 712 02$aWorld Bank. 712 02$aWorld Bank.$bIndependent Evaluation Group. 801 0$bDJBF 801 1$bDJBF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781056403321 996 $a2009 Annual Review of Development Effectiveness$93674991 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02765nam 22006255 450 001 9910300850503321 005 20220119013630.0 010 $a9783319692937 010 $a3319692933 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-319-69293-7 035 $a(CKB)4100000001381844 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-319-69293-7 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5200681 035 $a(Perlego)3494964 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000001381844 100 $a20171218d2018 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurnn#008mamaa 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aBritain and the Arctic /$fby Duncan Depledge 205 $a1st ed. 2018. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing :$cImprint: Palgrave Macmillan,$d2018. 215 $a1 online resource (XIV, 142 p. 1 illus.) 311 08$a9783319692920 311 08$a3319692925 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index. 330 $aBritish interest in the Arctic has returned to heights not seen since the end of the Cold War; concerns about climate change, resources, trade, and national security are all being impacted by profound environmental and geopolitical changes happening in the Arctic. Duncan Depledge explores why it seems to have taken until now for Britain - once an 'Arctic state' itself - to notice how close it is to these changes, what its contemporary interests in the region are, and whether the British government's response in the arenas of science, defence, and commerce is enough. He investigates the increasing geopolitical significance of the Arctic, providing an overview of Britain's historical connections to the Arctic. This book will be of interest to both academics and practitioners seeking to understand contemporary British interest and activity in the Arctic.  . 606 $aPolitical sociology 606 $aHuman geography 606 $aPhysical geography 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aGlobalization 606 $aPolitical Sociology 606 $aHuman Geography 606 $aPhysical Geography 606 $aForeign Policy 606 $aGlobalization 615 0$aPolitical sociology. 615 0$aHuman geography. 615 0$aPhysical geography. 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 0$aGlobalization. 615 14$aPolitical Sociology. 615 24$aHuman Geography. 615 24$aPhysical Geography. 615 24$aForeign Policy. 615 24$aGlobalization. 676 $a302-307 700 $aDepledge$b Duncan$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0941750 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300850503321 996 $aBritain and the Arctic$92124613 997 $aUNINA
