El cambio climático es una crisis mundial. A medida que aumentan las temperaturas y los niveles del mar, las personas de todo el mundo observan cada vez más cómo olas de calor, sequías, inundaciones, ciclones e incendios forestales cambian drásticamente sus vidas. Los efectos del cambio climático no son iguales, impactan de manera desproporcionada a las comunidades más pobres y marginadas en las que trabajamos para brindar ayuda todos los días. El cambio climático afecta prácticamente todo lo que USAID (Agencia de los Estados Unidos para el Desarrollo Internacional) hace y pone en peligro el progreso del desarrollo que hemos solventado durante más de 60 años.
Le changement climatique est une crise qui touche l’ensemble de la planète. Avec l’élévation des températures et du niveau des mers, les populations du monde entier voient de plus en plus souvent des vagues de chaleur, des sécheresses, des inondations, des cyclones et des incendies de forêt bouleverser leur vie. Les effets du changement climatique ne sont pas égaux – ils ont un impact disproportionné sur les communautés les plus pauvres et les plus marginalisées que nous nous efforçons de soutenir chaque jour. Le changement climatique affecte pratiquement toutes les activités de l’USAID et menace les progrès en matière de développement que nous soutenons depuis plus de 60 ans.
