Federal Climate Change Assistance in the Indo-Pacific Region
Countries and U.S. territories in the Indo-Pacific region are among the most vulnerable to the effects of climate change, such as sea level rise, coral reef bleaching, and drought. They are also among the least able to respond to such threats.
Twelve U.S. agencies provided $1.9 billion during FYs 2017-2023 to help address climate risks in Bangladesh, the Maldives, 14 Pacific Island countries, and 3 U.S. territories (American Samoa, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and Guam). These funds were used for direct activities (e.g., reforestation or coral reef monitoring), as well as indirect activities (e.g., conservation of critical habitats).

- Potential refers to planned activities; actual refers to activities that have been implemented.
- Agencies implement some activities in a single country/territory and others in multiple countries/territories.
