| Carbon dioxide, sulfur oxides and soot particles emitted by
coal power plants are part of the complex set of contributors to global climate change. |
To help countries address domestic and international climate change priorities, USAID’s
Global Climate Change (GCC) Program dedicates about $180 million a year to promote:
USAID places particular emphasis on partnerships with the private sector and on working with local
and national authorities, communities, and nongovernmental organizations to create alliances that build
on the relative strengths of each. Bringing together a diverse range of stakeholders helps avoid
unnecessary duplication and lays the foundation for a sustained, integrated approach. Through training,
tools, and other means of capacity building, USAID helps developing and transition countries address
climate-related concerns as a part of their development goals.
