Rethinking Social Protection and Climate Change - Implications of climate change for social protection policy and programming in the Asia-Pacific Region

This webinar called for a shift in vision around social protection and climate change in the Asia-Pacific region and globally, based on improved understanding of the socio-economic challenges likely to arise from climate change and their implications in terms of social protection needs. It identified and illustrated the functions that social protection can play to promote resilience, adaptation, shock response and mitigation and identifies some of the challenges to current practice that changing climate needs will engender.

This webinar was based on the findings of a report prepared for DFAT by Cecilia Costella and Anna McCord of the Climate Change and Social Protection Research Initiative (CCASP) which will be published in November 2023 and available through DFAT’s social protection publications page: https://www.dfat.gov.au/development/t...
