Description (excerpt):
Announced last year at COP26 and co-led by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the State Department, the President’s Emergency Plan for Adaptation and Resilience (PREPARE) is a coordinated, whole-of-government approach that brings together the diplomatic, development, and technical expertise of the United States to support more than half a billion people in developing countries to adapt to and manage the impacts of climate change by 2030. Under PREPARE, USAID with 18 other U.S. Government departments and agencies announces more than 60 actions to accelerate international adaptation efforts. USAID’s work under the Agency’s Climate Strategy (2022-2030) also supports PREPARE. USAID’s key actions within the PREPARE Action Plan follow, with additional actions to be shared at COP27.
The President has committed to working with Congress to provide $3 billion in adaptation finance annually for PREPARE by FY2024, which would be a six-fold increase from the highest historical funded level. This Action Plan details how the U.S. Government would implement PREPARE between 2022 and 2024. While some priority lines of work can be done within existing budgets, others require additional resources, making full implementation of this Action Plan subject to the availability of appropriations.
