Why social protection matters in a warming climate

Original: Blog: Why investing in social protection matters in a changing climate

The Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre has published a blog arguing that investing in social protection is essential as climate change increases the frequency and severity of shocks such as floods, droughts and heatwaves. It says safety-net systems that can scale up quickly before or after disasters help vulnerable households cope, and calls for strengthening these programmes as part of climate adaptation efforts.

Why now: Rising climate-driven disasters are pushing humanitarian organisations to highlight adaptive social protection as a key response tool.
