A global knowledge portal for climate change and development practitioners.
About us
Climatelinks is a global knowledge portal for USAID staff, implementing partners, and the broader community working at the intersection of climate change and international development. The portal curates and archives technical guidance and knowledge related to USAID’s work to help countries mitigate and adapt to climate change. We aim for this portal to improve climate change and development programming, amplifying the impact of USAID’s investments into the future. We hope Climatelinks becomes a place for development practitioners to help identify and refine practices, and to inform USAID’s technical direction in areas of information gaps. Climatelinks is a venue for knowledge sharing, implemented through the USAID Advancing Capacity for the Environment program. Climatelinks does not represent the views of USAID or the U.S. Government. Please visit USAID’s Website for official government information.

For the past two months, Climatelinks has been focused on highlighting resources related to USAID's work to improve communities' and countries' climate resilience. One major USAID resilience project is the "Resilience in the Sahel – Enhanced” initiative, which is being implemented in targeted zones of Burkina Faso and Niger. The initiative focuses on building resilience in the Sahel in the face of recurrent shocks, including climate shocks.

The Resilient, Inclusive and Sustainable Environments grants challenge, managed by IUCN and funded by USAID and NORAD is a first-of-its-kind grant fund that supports activities designed to address gender-based violence in environment and climate change programs. Four projects were chosen from over 800 submissions! Read about them: https://lnkd.in/egmzPmYw

My wonderful Abt Global colleagues, Drs. Molly Hellmuth, PhD and Zarrar Khan, and I have a new blog post on Climatelinks 👇. We explore the rising challenges associated with compound and cascading shocks (including, of course, #climatechange) and the concrete steps development actors and policymakers can take to help strengthen community resilience to complex risk. These include: 1️⃣ adopting comprehensive risk frameworks (and leveraging tools like scenario planning, stress testing, and systems mapping), 2️⃣ strengthening interdisciplinary collaboration, and 3️⃣ incorporating adaptive management processes. Please check out the blog and share. We're thinking of having a webinar or similar event on these topics. Please get in touch if that's of interest!

Last year, USAID/Vietnam conducted an assessment to understand the relevant opportunities for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the Mekong River Delta and to investigate which interventions would yield the greatest co-benefits for biodiversity conservation and climate change adaptation. The report identified four lessons learned related to land-based emissions mitigation in rice production 🌾: 1. A range of relevant policies, orientations, and regulations are needed to transform low methane rice production. 2. Public investments and fundraisers for agricultural infrastructure are the most important incentives for low-methane rice production. 3. Research and development should be at the heart of the promotion of low-methane rice production in the Mekong River Delta 4. Incentivization of low emissions rice production through partnerships, market linkages, and increased access to finance is also important for those technologies.
