5 Ways USAID Empowers Women as Leaders Against the Climate Crisis

Here are five ways USAID empowers women in the fight against climate change:

1. The Advancing Gender in the Environment (AGENT) partnership between USAID and the International Union for the Conservation of Nature conducts research and publishes findings on how climate change affects women.
2. A 16-year partnership between USAID and NASA, SERVIR, supports local decision makers across the developing world to use geospatial technology to manage the effects of climate change.
3. USAID’s Clean Cities, Blue Ocean program halts ocean plastic pollution in rapidly urbanizing areas of Asia and Latin America that contribute to the estimated 8 million metric tons of plastic that flow into the ocean each year.
4. USAID’s Engendering Utilities program creates economic opportunities for women working in traditionally male-dominated energy and water utilities.
5. USAID works in Ghana, Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia, and India to support legal and land-resource governance reforms around women’s land rights.
