PREPARE Call to Action to the Private Sector

USAID , Global Resilience Partnership , Office of the U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate

The Global Resilience Partnership, together with the U.S. Government, is excited to announce the PREPARE Call to Action.

PREPARE Call to Action

More Info

In their role leading the implementation of the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for Adaptation and Resilience (PREPARE), Samantha Power, USAID Administrator and John Kerry, U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate announced a global Call to Action for businesses to make new, significant commitments to signal the critical importance of building climate resilience in partner countries. 

As part of this Call to Action launch, ten companies announced specific commitments to support steps that improve climate resilience for consumers and communities. This includes expanding climate information, financial products and services for adaptation, climate smart food security, and insurance. The Global Resilience Partnership (GRP), through the support it receives from USAID, will manage the Call to Action, with input from the Office of the Special Presidential Envoy on Climate. Learn more about PREPARE here.

This Call to Action recognizes the urgent need for both private and public sector action to address long-standing gaps in climate adaptation. It also acknowledges the progress on reducing emissions resulted, in part, from over a decade of public and private sector collaboration and that strong collaboration with attention to the needs of local communities, can drive further action on global climate resilience. 

For these reasons, Secretary Kerry and Administrator Power call on the private sector to draw on its unique resources, expertise, and innovation to support inclusive approaches to climate adaptation. Together, we can remove barriers to investment in adaptation and build a future in which communities are able to thrive, even in the face of climate change. 

Founding participants for the PREPARE Call to Action include Google, Gro Intelligence, Marsh McLennan, Mastercard, Meta, Microsoft, Pegasus Capital Advisors, PepsiCo., WTW, and SAP.
