The <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/04\/us\/usaid-musk-trump-rubio-cuts.html\" title=\"\">Trump administration has essentially sought<\/a> to shutter the agency. A <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/13\/us\/politics\/judge-trump-usaid.html\" title=\"\">federal court<\/a> has issued a temporary restraining order. On the ground, much of the work has stopped.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThey were buying down future risk,\u201d said Erin Sikorsky, director of the Center for Climate and Security and a former U.S. intelligence official. \u201cInvest little today so we don\u2019t have to spend a lot in the future when things metastasize.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The German government this week released a report calling climate change \u201c<a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.auswaertiges-amt.de\/en\/newsroom\/news\/2700056-2700056\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">the greatest security threat of our day and age<\/a>,\u201d echoing a U.S. intelligence report from 2021, which described climate hazards as \u201cthreat multipliers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Some U.S.A.I.D. funding supported mediation programs to prevent local clashes over land or water. For instance, as the rains become erratic in the Sahel, clashes between farmers and cattle herders become more frequent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Other U.S.A.I.D. funds supported job training to give young people alternatives to being recruited by terrorist organizations. One such program in Kenya offered motorcycle-repair training. Other programs funded research into crop seeds that could withstand disease and drought, including new varieties of coffee for the global market.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Climate change adds to the pressures facing vulnerable countries. The burning of fossil fuels has raised the average global temperature since the start of the industrial age, and it has supersized extreme weather events such as droughts, floods and storm surges worsened by rising seas. This has, in turn, intensified water shortages, hampered food production and led to increased competition for resources.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dni.gov\/files\/ODNI\/documents\/assessments\/NIE_Climate_Change_and_National_Security.pdf\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">U.S. National Intelligence Council concluded<\/a> in 2021 that \u201cclimate change will increasingly exacerbate risks to U.S. national security interests as the physical impacts increase and geopolitical tensions mount about how to respond.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The report identified specific flash points, including cross-border water tensions, and said some countries could experience instability, including from straining food and energy systems. It identified nearly a dozen particularly vulnerable countries, including Niger, Chad and Ethiopia. \u201cBuilding resilience in these countries and regions would probably be especially helpful in mitigating future risks to U.S. interests,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">That was increasingly the goal of several U.S.A.I.D. projects \u2014 to help people cope with climate shocks. .<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In Kenya, amid six cycles between 2022 and 2024 of rains that failed to arrive on time, U.S.A.I.D. projects helped local farmer cooperatives get fast-growing seeds that could grow with little water: amaranth, beans, green gram. The orders to stop this work, aid workers said, would be felt immediately.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cPeople will be measurably less able to cope with climate shocks,\u201d said one aid-agency staff member who asked not to be identified out of concern over retaliation against the aid group. \u201cIn some cases, people will die of hunger.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">When a drought was forecast in Ethiopia, U.S.A.I.D. projects helped vaccinate animals and encouraged pastoralist communities to sell their animals while they were still healthy. Several agricultural researchers in American universities received U.S.A.I.D. money to develop more nutritious, higher-yielding seeds that could better withstand heat and unpredictable rains.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Water programs were a big part of U.S.A.I.D.\u2019s climate-resilience portfolio. In Basra, where anti-government riots broke out after contaminated water led to the hospitalization of more than 100,000 people, the agency <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.undp.org\/arab-states\/press-releases\/water-complex-rehabilitated-undp-and-usaid-provides-safe-drinking-water-over-30000-people-basra\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">funded the repair of water treatment plants<\/a>. In Central Asia, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/kz.usembassy.gov\/new-usaid-program-to-strengthen-transboundary-water-cooperation-in-central-asia\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">the agency devoted $24.5 million<\/a> to get five countries to cooperate on their shared water sources.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In southwestern Niger, the agency helped craft agreements on how cattle-grazing corridors and water wells <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/usaid-global-waters\/going-beyond-taps-and-toilets-in-the-sahel-49b5668ecaec\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">could be managed peacefully<\/a>. In Benin, a program brought together farmer and pastoralist communities to spread the word about looming dry spells because drought meant herders would sometimes bring their animals to graze on other people\u2019s farms, and conflicts would get out of hand.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ann Vaughn, a former deputy assistant administrator at U.S.A.I.D., said she was most worried about regions where water insecurity could drive unrest and prompt U.S. rivals to exploit the crisis. \u201cWith everything going on in the Middle East,\u201d she said, \u201cyou add in things like taps not turning on and you don\u2019t have the right seeds, that creates a lot of tension.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async
