Climatelinks’ resource library curates and archives technical guidance and knowledge related to USAID’s climate change mitigation and adaptation programs. These resources can help inform practitioners’ climate and development work across sectors.
Here are some Climatelinks resources you may have missed in 2023:
Evaluating Climate-Related Migration Forecasting Models Report
Climate change will significantly impact all aspects of human society, including how populations move. Planning for the wide spectrum of future climate-related mobility is a key challenge facing development planners and policymakers. This report reviews several prevailing and promising modeling approaches for forecasting the nature, magnitude, and direction of climate-related migration over the next 30 years.
Climate Change Impacts on Human Health and the Health Sector
Climate change threatens health care availability, access, quality, and financial viability through direct and indirect pressures. Better understanding the intrinsic link between climate and health systems is essential to strengthening health systems and ensuring they remain resilient. This resource offers an overview of how climate change impacts human health and the health sector.
Positive Youth Development Measurement Toolkit: A Practical Guide For Implementers of Youth Programs
This toolkit provides implementers of youth programming with references, resources, and tools on using a positive youth development (PYD) approach to evaluate youth-focused programming. A PYD approach to evaluation measures whether youth are positively engaged in, and benefiting from, investments that empower them to develop in healthy ways so they can contribute to their communities.
Global Water Strategy Indicator Handbook
The Global Water Strategy Indicator Handbook presents the set of performance monitoring indicators used to measure progress against the U.S. Government’s Global Water Strategy. The handbook is intended for use by USAID staff and implementing partners involved in water security, sanitation, and hygiene programming to ensure the correct use of USAID’s standard indicators.
Climate Related Game Changers: Enhancing Adaptation Program Impact to Address Climate Game Changers
Around the world, many communities are already experiencing “game changing” situations, which this report defines as a situation where a community currently faces or will face within the next two decades substantial and sustained stress from climate change that will significantly impact lives and livelihoods. The report identifies three key areas of knowledge gaps that are inhibiting climate-related development programming and suggests innovative ways forward based on current research.
