Agency Climate Change Adaptation Plan

USAID prepared its first Agency Climate Change Adaptation Plan in 2012, in compliance with Executive Order 13514. The structure and content of the plan align with USAID’s Climate Change and Development Strategy.

The adaptation plan is an annex to the Agency Sustainability Plan. It assesses climate change risks, vulnerabilities, and opportunities for USAID missions, programs, and operations, and it identifies agency-level actions to understand and address climate change vulnerabilities.

USAID is currently inviting public comments on the Agency Adaptation Plan. All comments submitted on or before April 30, 2013 will be collected and addressed in future agency adaptation plans.
