January 2024 – Late last year, USAID released Technical Guidance to support USAID Missions and partners who seek to integrate climate action and awareness into education programs and are committed to achieving climate-resilient education systems and fostering climate-resilient learners.
The Technical Guidance outlines how to identify opportunities for climate action that respond to known climate hazards through mitigative, adaptive, and transformative actions and builds on USAID’s 2022-2030 Climate Strategy. The guidance is designed for use at the activity design and monitoring and evaluation stages of the USAID Program Cycle. It does not prescribe new processes, but rather serves to aid Missions and partners in integrating climate considerations into existing processes.
