In the years ahead, development efforts
aiming at reducing vulnerability will increasingly have to
factor in climate change, and social protection is no
exception. This paper sets out the case for
climate?responsive social protection and proposes a
framework with principles, design features, and functions
that would help Social Protection (SP) systems evolve in a
climate?responsive direction. The principles comprise
climate?aware planning; livelihood?based approaches that
consider the full range of assets and institutions available
to households and communities; and aiming for resilient
communities by planning for the long term. Four design
features that can help achieve this are: scalable and
flexible programs that can increase coverage in response to
climate disasters; climate?responsive targeting systems;
investments in livelihoods that build community and
household resilience; and promotion of better climate risk management.
