Operationalizing USAID’s Climate Strategy to Achieve Transformative Adaptation and Mitigation in Agricultural and Food Systems
The U.S. Agency for International Development’s (USAID’s) 2023–2030 Climate Strategy (Climate Strategy) provides a bold and ambitious vision to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions and build resilience to climate change.
U.S. Dept. of State and USAID Joint Strategy FY 2022 - 2026
“These steps will help us build a more inclusive Agency, one that is more diverse and willing to engage with new partners, more equitable in its impact, and more responsive to local voices. USAID’s legacy as the world’s leading bilateral development institution has always been an asset to the American people and a means for securing stability, security, and prosperity, both at home and abroad. This Joint Strategic Plan acknowledges and draws strength from this heritage to take on the challenges of today and prepare for those that will come tomorrow.”
U.S. Government Global Food Security Strategy
The updated Global Food Security Strategy is our roadmap to that better future. It charts an ambitious course to reduce global poverty, hunger, and malnutrition in the face of COVID-19, climate change, growing conflict, and rising inequality through Feed the Future, the U.S. government’s (USG) global hunger and food-security initiative. It brings America’s full strength to bear on these challenges by drawing on the expertise of agencies across the U.S. government. Through this strategy, we aim to contribute toward a 20% reduction in poverty and stunting in the areas where we work between 2022-2026 by partnering with foreign governments, the private sector, and our colleagues across the interagency.

Climate Change, Adaptation, and Conflict: A Preliminary Review of the Issues
The consensus of climate scientists on the probable harmful effects of climate change and the need for climate adaptation has grown stronger in recent years. However, knowledge about the potential links between climate change and conflict, as well as the appropriate climate adaptation measures to prevent or mitigate conflict, remains limited and underdeveloped. This discussion paper provides an initial examination of climate change and climate adaptation, how and where climate change may be linked to conflict, and some of the implications of these linkages for development agencies.
