- CRC 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 the sectoral programs.

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.

- Knowledge and learning support

- Oversee the CRCSU Ways of Working with DFAT process during inception and annual health checks to establish a shared understanding of the priorities, governance mechanisms, timeframes, expectations and accountabilities. Ensure all program deliverables, program reports, and costed annual plans are developed and produced to an exceptional standard and submitted to schedule
