To ensure that state-level programs effectively advance the goals of sustainable development they must be evaluated by three criteria compliance with the goals of higher authorities, efficacy, and credibility. This article offers some preliminary evaluation criteria for assessing these activities and assesses the need for their further refinement. The authors suggest how to operationalise these criteria to ensure that state-level efforts encompass the causes and consequences of global climate change, and they prescribe who should undertake such policy evalution.
