The ax is already falling on climate programs as the Trump administration attempts to dismantle the U.S. Agency for International Development.

At least 10 climate and clean energy programs have gotten the chop, including support for Nepal’s power sector and a multimillion-dollar effort to expand electricity access through renewable sources in southern Africa, as I wrote today after obtaining a spreadsheet of canceled initiatives.

It’s unclear how many more climate-related programs the administration may have canceled. The document is just one of several spreadsheets circulating around an agency that has been at the center of efforts by President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk to slash the federal workforce.

How much do Russia and China give in aid to other countries for programs like this - and condoms for gerbils, making whale sh*t float, etc.?
