Action on climate change is at the heart of Australia’s International Development Policy. The policy commits the Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) to respond to the needs of Indo-Pacific countries and evidence of the accelerating climate crisis by increasing our climate investments and better addressing climate risks.
Climate Resilient Communities (CRC) is DFAT’s new flagship climate change program designed to help achieve Australia’s International Development Policy and meet Australia’s climate finance commitments over the next nine years (2024–33).
CRC will incentivise the flow of funds towards inclusive climate change programming—targeting community resilience in the water, food, and energy sectors, while also raising the quality of climate integration across the development program.
DT Global has been contracted by DFAT to establish and manage the Climate Resilient Communities Support Unit (CRCSU). The CRCSU provides a mechanism for DFAT Canberra and Posts to deliver enhanced climate and disaster resilience and integration programming, with the aim of enabling people in the Indo-Pacific to become more resilient to climate change and disasters.
The CRCSU will help achieve this through supporting a sustained increase in climate programming and climate integration capability, providing access to specialist expertise, resources and networks, through an efficient operational platform. The CRCSU provides the following core services:
The CRCSU supports DFAT to recruit embedded staff to work from the DFAT office in Canberra, alongside, and reporting to DFAT staff on a day-to-day basis.
The Climate and Integration Adviser will be based at the CRC DFAT Canberra office and will provide technical advice and guidance to DFAT program managers to strengthen integration of climate and disaster resilience. This will include a focus on building integration of resilience to climate change and disasters through actions for mitigation, adaption and resilience building, with gender responsive and inclusive approaches across different sectors of international development programming.
