There is an increasing need to assess the adequacy and impact of research and innovation (R&I) policy towards a climate neutral economy. We discuss why R&I policy should be part of an optimal policy mix. We then present a general evaluation and impact-assessment framework and discuss its potential but also limitations. Based on this approach we finally propose an indicator system for a qualitative impact assessment focusing on the innovation and greenhouse gas mitigation potential of R&I measures.
