LEAF: Developing a New Climate Change Curriculum
Over the past three years, USAID LEAF has worked with university lecturers and educators from around Asia and the Pacific to develop a new climate change curriculum. The video shows how the curriculum process has evolved; it highlights the strong engagement and commitment of more than 120 professors from 14 participating universities in Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia and Papua New Guinea. Together with its 14 partner universities, USAID LEAF has taken early action on preparing qualified climate change experts across Asia and the Pacific.
USAID and partners catalyze Low Emissions Agriculture and Food Systems (LEAFS), aiming to curb emissions and bolster food security while restoring ecosystems. With a goal of protecting forests, enhancing agricultural productivity, and empowering local governance in the regions USAID works.
Nearly all of the food we eat comes directly or indirectly from our soils, and without healthy soils, we will destroy our ability to feed ourselves.
Reducing livestock emissions while increasing production efficiency is key in Africa and can be achieved through better livestock feeding practices and more efficient management techniques.
