DT Global’s APAC Team have recently been selected to deliver the Climate Resilient Communities Support Unit (CRCSU) in the Asia Pacific region.
The CRCSU is DFAT’s flagship investment to meet its climate policy and finance commitments. CRCSU will incentivise the flow of funds towards inclusive climate change programming—targeting community resilience in the water, food, and energy sectors—by co-funding bilateral and regional programs and attracting new sources of climate finance, while also raising the quality of climate integration across sectoral programs.
The CRCSU is an AUD70M, five-year program which will work with DFAT bilateral and regional programs, including at Posts, to co-fund and design new climate change programming, particularly in the water, food, and energy sectors. It will also integrate climate and disaster resilience across the Development Program, Posts across the Asia-Pacific region, and DFAT Canberra.
“We are very excited to be adding CRCSU to our APAC portfolio,” said APAC Managing Director Jo Choe. “It is an extremely significant and high-profile program for APAC and DT Global more broadly; it acknowledges our deep commitment to inclusive climate change programming across the region.”
“This announcement comes off the back of our recent success with the New Zealand MFAT-funded Climate Finance Capacity Support Programme (CFF-CSP) which is working with 15 Pacific countries to scale up their delivery of climate change priorities.”
“The solidifies our strong commitment and long-standing investment in embedding climate change policies and sustainable development practices across the region while continuing to strive for a more sustainable future. Congratulations to all involved.
