Listen to Cecilia Costella on the Social Protection Podcast on:
Addressing Climate Risks through Social Protection
All contributions on the podcast are based on the paper co-authored with Anna and others:
In my work on social protection and climate change with Cecilia Costella we are trying to look at the implications of climate change for the current social protection discourse and identify innovations in programming which are starting to take the socio-economic impacts of geophysical change into account and may offer options for future design. Every aspect of the current social protection discourse will be challenged in the coming decades and we are working to support new thinking in terms of design, delivery, financing, and scale. We are currently taking this work forward through the CCASP Climate Change and Social Protection research initiative funded by DFAT.
I am also working with the USB2030 Working Group on Climate Change hosted by socialprotection.org.
