CCRD Program(s): Adaptation Partnership, Climate Services, National Adaptation Planning and Implementation
Description:
This fact sheet provides an overview of USAID's CCRD project, as
envisioned at the beginning of the project. CCRD activities increase the
resilience of people, assets, and livelihoods to climate change impacts
by integrating adaptation strategies into the broader development
agenda and inducing donors, governments, and the private sector to
invest in cost-effective adaptive strategies. The CCRD program focuses
on three areas, providing: 1) support to USAID Bureaus and Missions
through the development and dissemination of guidance, training, and
capacity-building to strengthen the agency’s portfolio of adaptation
projects, as well as the mainstreaming of climate concerns into other
programs and projects; 2) coordination and support for activities
related to U.S. Government climate change programs, including the
Adaptation Partnership and Partnership Workshops programs; and 3)
technical leadership in emerging areas of climate vulnerability and
adaptation that need further innovation, including glaciers and
mountains, climate services, and climate-resilient long-term planning.

Increasing the Climate Resilience of Infrastructure in Developing Countries
August 2014
CCRD Program(s): Climate
Resilient Infrastructure Services (CRIS), Climate-resilient Development
Framework, Fast Track Implementation, Small Grants
Description:This fact sheet provides an overview of USAID’s CRIS
program and its work in five rapidly growing pilot cities that are vulnerable
to climate risks: Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic; Piura, Perú; Trujillo,
Perú; Nacala-Porto, Mozambique; and Hue, Vietnam. CRIS enables municipal
decision-makers to identify, prioritize, and implement adaptation strategies
for infrastructure projects to save lives and protect long-term investments.
CRIS activities include assessing vulnerability, screening adaptation options,
writing proposals for external funding, using decision-support tools for
infrastructure planning, and supporting training and peer-learning events.
USAID also provides small grants for
developing and testing innovative approaches to improve resilience in cities.
