The Climate Centre’s social protection work views social policies and programmes as essential tools to manage climate risks, reduce poverty, and build resilience. It focuses on helping vulnerable communities anticipate, absorb, and adapt to climate impacts by integrating climate information into social protection systems. The Centre collaborates with governments, donors, and communities to strengthen and improve these systems through practical action and innovation. It also explores linking early warning and forecast-based action with social protection to ensure timely and effective support reaches those most at risk.
