This gender analysis was conducted using a desk review of the available literature, consultations with gender and climate experts from across USAID, including through a gender analysis workshop hosted by DDI/LRG and DDI/GenDev. As part of the climate strategy development process, USAID/GenDev hosted a gender and climate listening session with experts from around the world. Their recommendations have been integrated into this analysis.

In the Philippines, the USAID ReachHealth Project delivers family planning and maternal and neonatal health services to women and adolescent girls. Family planning services are essential for the health of these populations because they promote healthy timing and spacing of pregnancies. The Philippines is highly vulnerable to climate stressors, which can create sudden, overwhelming demand for health services even as they damage physical infrastructure and disrupt access to care.

Catalyzing private finance for climate action is essential to achieving goals for limiting global warming. USAID can play a pivotal role in climate action across partner countries by increasing funding for activities that catalyze and crowd in private capital to climate-focused investments. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) estimates USD 1.6 trillion is needed annually to keep global warming to the 1.5-2°C target range; only 38 percent of this was funded in 2019. Blended finance, the strategic use of public resources to attract private capital, represents an opportunity for USAID to help close this gap and dramatically increase the scale and scope of climate finance in the coming years.
