Climate change disproportionately impacts many of the countries where the Peace Corps serves. Partnering with local leaders, Volunteers work with communities to identify environmental issues and community efforts to adapt to the impacts of climate change and to mitigate the severity of those impacts.

As temperatures and sea-levels rise, there is an urgent need to support projects such as: climate change adaptation, promotion of environmental awareness, conservation, clean energy, and income generating ecotourism activities.
