Stratégie climat de l'USAID 2022–2030

Le changement climatique est une crise qui touche l’ensemble de la planète. Avec l’élévation des températures et du niveau des mers, les populations du monde entier voient de plus en plus souvent des vagues de chaleur, des sécheresses, des inondations, des cyclones et des incendies de forêt bouleverser leur vie. Les effets du changement climatique ne sont pas égaux – ils ont un impact disproportionné sur les communautés les plus pauvres et les plus marginalisées que nous nous efforçons de soutenir chaque jour. Le changement climatique affecte pratiquement toutes les activités de l’USAID et menace les progrès en matière de développement que nous soutenons depuis plus de 60 ans.

Earth Observations Help to Monitor the Impacts of Cyclone Idai on People and Food in Eastern Africa

Cyclone Idai left more than 1,000 people dead and thousands more missing, potentially affecting millions in Southern Africa. As emergency response and recovery efforts continue, another disaster is likely unfolding elsewhere on the continent: Idai pulled precipitation South, away from Eastern Africa, resulting in persistent dry conditions affecting crops at the start of the main growing season. That’s where NASA Earth Observations come in.
