934-004CENTRAL OPERATING UNIT: Bureau for Economic Growth, Agriculture and Trade: Environment (EGAT/ENV)
PROGRAM TITLE: Global Climate Change
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE AND NUMBER: Reduced Threat to Sustainable Development from Global Climate Change, 934-004
STATUS: Continuing
PLANNED FY 2002 OBLIGATION AND FUNDING SOURCE: $3,975,000 DA
PROPOSED FY 2003 OBLIGATION AND FUNDING SOURCE: $2,075,000 DA
INITIAL OBLIGATION: FY 1999 ESTIMATED COMPLETION DATE: FY 2008Summary: This program concentrates resources in countries and regions where greenhouse gas emissions are significant and where threats to economic development are evident. It provides technical leadership and assistance to 49 field missions and central and regional offices to implement and report progress on climate change activities. The program also tracks results and reports progress on Agency-wide climate change activities in an annual report to Congress.
Inputs, Outputs and Activities: FY 2002 Program: USAID will continue to advance approaches that promote climate-friendly technologies and carbon sequestration through innovative energy, forestry, and agricultural practices. A portion of FY 2002 funds will analyze Agency resources needed to address the development impacts of potential climate change.
Planned FY 2003 Program: USAID plans to use FY 2003 resources requested in this Budget Justification to begin implementation of a broader approach to climate change which will continue to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through cost-effective interventions. It will also address impacts on food production, human health, the natural resource base and coastal areas caused by climate change, land use change, and long-term changes in precipitation patterns.
In 2000, USAID’s Climate Change programs yielded over $800 million in directly leveraged funding. More than 2.1 million tons in emissions of carbon dioxide-equivalents were avoided. Performance and Results: The program increased investment in climate-friendly technologies in Brazil, Mexico, Philippines, Egypt, and South Africa, and advanced U.S. policy goals for carbon sequestration worldwide, most notably in Latin America. These efforts were directly linked to our partner countries’ overall development goals and advanced their goals to reduce poverty by expanding services and incentives for productive rural employment. Agency-wide climate change reporting for the last three years showed that USAID helped avoid emissions of over 8 million metric tons of carbon dioxide-equivalents and initiated activities in more than 66 million hectares to protect carbon sinks.
Principal Contractors, Grantees, or Agencies: Partners are private organizations such as E+Co, International Resources Group, Nexant, Global Technology and Environment Foundation, and PADCO; non-governmental organizations such as the Center for Clean Air Policy, Winrock International, World Resources Institute, The Nature Conservancy, and the Center for Sustainable Development in the Americas; host country government agencies; and U.S. Government agencies (USDA, DOS, EPA, NOAA, DOE), and its national laboratories (NREL, ORNL, PNNL).
