Fresh Look for Climatelinks

By Climatelinks

Climatelinks has a new design and updated content – just in time for the United States to rejoin the Paris Climate Accord. The site has been revamped to better meet the needs of the USAID, its climate and development partners, and the climate community around the world. 

Originally launched in October 2015, the site also serves as a venue for information sharing and exchange within its community of users. Some key features include: 

Updated Sector Pages 

To promote cross-sectoral climate integration for better development outcomes, the site includes updated sector pages, including Biodiversity, Conflict & Governance, Disaster Risk Management, Economic Growth, Health, Food Security and Agriculture, and more. Each page includes recent resources, blogs, and events related to that sector.

New Country Pages 

We have updated all USAID country pages with a more user-friendly data dashboard, including climate change indicators, such as annual change in greenhouse gas emissions, percent forest area, deforestation rates, GAIN vulnerability index ratings, USAID funding, and policy indicators, such as country plans and commitments.

Climate Risk Management Portal 

This page includes our most popular resources––the Climate Risk Profiles and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Fact Sheets. There are also Climate Risk Management training resources that anyone can take from home.

Photo Gallery

The redesigned photo gallery now hosts more than 300 photos from climate and development programs around the world. Stunning photos come from two recent Climatelinks photo contests, as well as blog contributors. These images tell the story of nature-based solutions to climate change by geography and sector.
