Resources for Climate Risk Management

In addition to the Climate Risk Screening and Management Tools, a number of resources are available to support USAID's implementation of climate risk management within USAID, including a guide for monitoring, evaluation, learning and knowledge management, and a primer on using climate information.  USAID staff may access additional climate risk management resources on the agency intranet.

Regional & Country Climate Risk Profiles and Emissions Fact Sheets

Profiles linked to below, organized by geographic region, summarize climate stressors, climate risks and GHG emissions in each region or country and highlight linkages between climate and USAID programs. This user guide explains the information presented in each section of the emissions factsheets, along with their sources. USAID staff who do not yet find their mission below may consult internal agency resources. Users may also benefit from consulting other resources, such as the World Bank's Climate Knowledge Portal for climate impacts and WRI's CAIT on GHG emissions.  Country-specific information through Climatelinks' map may also be helpful.
