Narrowly limit USAID funding to traditional climate mitigation

Done

Printed page 257 9. Agency for International Development

“The next conservative Administration should rescind all climate policies from its foreign aid programs (specifically USAID’s Climate Strategy 2022–2030); shut down the agency’s offices, programs, and directives designed to advance the Paris Climate Agreement; and narrowly limit funding to traditional climate mitigation efforts.”

What has happened

Feb 3, 2026 Done
Foreign-aid climate funding was not narrowed - it was ended. The enacted FY2026 foreign-operations appropriation contains no occurrence of "climate", no Green Climate Fund or Clean Technology Fund line, and the FY2027 request contains none either. A ceiling ask overshot in the direction asked is delivery, the reading ticket 12 settled for #642.

Research notes

Recorded as done on the #642 precedent (overshooting a limit in the direction asked is delivery, not substitution). A reviewer preferring the strict reading - that zero funding is not “narrowly limited” funding - would call this partial.
