Description

The USAID Climate Strategy is built on several foundational principles, which will be incorporated into all planning and activities. 

  • Locally Led Development: Support sustainable and equitable climate actions that are locally led, owned, implemented, and tailored and context appropriate.
  • Equity and Inclusion: Center actions in the context of the diverse communities in which we work, and engage local, marginalized, and underrepresented groups as critical agents of change.
  • Private-Sector Engagement: Partner with the private sector to expand the scale, impact, and sustainability of our programs.
  • Nature-Based Solutions: Elevate nature-based solutions as key tools to absorb carbon, reduce disaster risk, support livelihoods, and improve food and water security.
  • Evidence and Innovation: Support the rigorous research, technology, and development needed to identify and deploy effective climate solutions, including those locally known and developed.
