Do you have a USAID-supported resource you'd like to share on Climatelinks?

Submit your suggestion here!

Launched in 2015, Climatelinks is a global knowledge portal for USAID staff, implementing partners, and the broader community working at the intersection of climate change and international development. The portal curates and archives technical guidance and knowledge related to USAID’s work to help countries mitigate and adapt to climate change.

We aim for this portal to improve climate change and development programming, amplifying the impact of USAID’s investments into the future. We hope Climatelinks becomes a place for development practitioners to help identify and refine practices, and to inform USAID’s technical direction in areas of information gaps.

Philippines: USAID ReachHealth - Climate Risk Management Case Study

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.
