Managing climate risks through social protection
Climate change poses significant challenges to the goal of eliminating poverty and hunger, and achieving sustainable development. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development has prioritized the need to promote integrated climate risk management approaches that tackle the underlying causes of climate vulnerability, while also addressing drivers of chronic poverty and food insecurity. Social protection can support smallholders in the face of climate change and related risks through, first, reducing poverty and vulnerability and increasing coping capacity ahead of shocks; second, providing a steppingstone towards climate-resilient livelihoods; and, third, supporting inclusive disaster preparedness, anticipatory action, and disaster response and recovery.
