USAID climate change and development strategy 2012-2016
This strategy outlines USAID's goals and strategic objectives and provides guiding principles based on USAID's long history of work in related areas like disaster risk reduction, natural resources management and energy sector reform. The goal of this strategy is to enable countries to accelerate their transition to climate-resilient low emission sustainable economic development. The strategy also lays out a road map for implementation, recognizing the need to develop more detailed plans for research, monitoring, training, learning and outreach that will guide Agency officers and programming in the future.
