AI Summary
This bill, the Climate-Resilient International Development Optimization Act, requires the integration of climate-resilience considerations into all development work of the United States. Key provisions include:
Agencies with direct international development programs and investments must incorporate climate resilience into their decision-making, collaborate with other agencies and countries to share knowledge and best practices, and support efforts by recipient countries to integrate climate resilience into their development planning. A Working Group on Climate-Resilient International Development is established to provide support and guidance to these agencies. Agencies must report on their progress in implementing these requirements, and the Working Group must report annually to Congress. The bill also authorizes appropriations to carry out these activities from 2021 to 2030.
