A newly formed international Task Force on Linking Adaptive Social Protection and Climate Financing aims to bridge the gap between climate goals and social protection solutions. Its newly published note demonstrates how social protection systems can be strategically leveraged for climate action – a topic of growing importance for NGOs, development organizations, and practitioners. Based on practical approaches and examples from countries such as Indonesia, Kenya or Nicaragua, it shows how social protection can help make communities more resilient to climate risks. The note´s quick guide and checklist point out key entry points and offer concrete strategies for policy makers to integrate social protection into national climate commitments – for more people-centered and accelerated climate action.
