Social protection and climate resilience

This learning resource identifies lessons from a range of Department for International Development (DFID) programmes on how social protection builds climate resilience. It also contains a detailed list of current best reads. It was compiled as a result of consultations with DFID staff and draws on relevant DFID case studies to provide insights into:

• The working conceptual framework for defining climate resilience
• Climate responsiveness of social protection programming
• Key issues to consider when designing climate resilient social protection programmes - targeting, scalable and flexible shock responsive mechanisms, fragile states, long term and holistic resilience approaches, monitoring and learning

This resource is part of a series of inter-related resources synthesising knowledge on Resilience.
