Emilie Beauchamp is a lead on monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) with IISD’s Resilience program. She has 15 years of experience in MEL and research methods in environmental change and sustainability policy.
Emilie’s work focuses on policy and practices related to the design of MEL and evidence systems across the adaptation policy and planning cycles, including analysis, guidance, and technical support for the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) processes through the NAP Global Network. She also leads and contributes to research projects exploring pathways of change and the impact of climate, land use, and conservation interventions, using mixed approaches with a strong social inclusion lens.
