    Adaptive social protection: mapping the evidence and policy context in the agriculture sector in South Asia

    Institute of Development Studies UK, 2010
    The concept of Adaptive Social Protection (ASP) refers to a series of measures which aims to build resilience of the poorest and most vulnerable people to climate change by combining elements of social protection (SP), disaster risk reduction (DRR) and climate change adaptation (CCA) in programmes and projects.  While these approaches have much in common, because they have developed separatel

    Climate change and social protection in Cambodia: linkages and synergies

    United Nations Children's Fund, 2010
    Because of its low adaptive capacity, Cambodia is highly vulnerable to climate change events, particularly as the social protection system in Cambodia is still under development.

    Responding to a changing climate: exploring how disaster risk reduction, social protection and livelihoods approaches promote features of adaptive capacity

    Overseas Development Institute, 2010
    How can humanitarian and development approaches help enhance communities’ capacity to adapt to a changing climate? This paper explores how interventions associated with disaster risk reduction (DRR), social protection (SP) and livelihoods (LH) approaches can play an important role in terms of climate adaptive capacity.

    Impacts of climate change on livelihoods: what are the implications for social protection?

    Climate and Disaster Governance Programme, 2009
    This paper explores how rural agricultural livelihoods may be affected by changes in climate. Exploring Ethiopian case studies, the author uses a combined Transformative Social Protection and Household Economy Approach to determine how social protection can contribute to adaptation plans - specifically for the poor and most vulnerable - in the context of a changing climate.

    Connecting social protection and climate change adaptation

    Institute of Development Studies UK, 2010
    This brief argues that social protection initiatives are as much at risk from climate change as other development approaches. The authors think that these initiatives are unlikely to succeed in reducing poverty if they do not consider both the short and long-term shocks and stresses associated with climate change.

    Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, 2009
    This paper outlines linkages between climate change adaptation, disaster risk reduction (DRR) and social protection.

    Adaptation toolkit. Integrating adaptation to climate change into secure livelihoods

    United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, 2009
    The existing poverty and the likelihood of severe effects of climate change in developing countries highlights the critical importance of adaptation to its impacts. Without substantial intervention, the likelihood of reaching global and specific national poverty reduction objectives will be severely hampered.

    Social protection and climate change adaption

    Commission on Climate Change and Development, 2008
    Social protection initiatives are as much at risk from climate change as other development approaches, and they are unlikely to succeed in reducing poverty if they do not consider short and long-term shocks andstresses associated with climate change.

    Climate change: impact on agriculture and costs of adaptation

    International Food Policy Research Institute, 2009
    Climate change, together with global population and income growth, is a major threat to food security in the world. This food policy report presents research results which quantify climate change impact, assess the consequences for food security and estimate the investment required to offset the negative effects on human wellbeing.

    Agriculture and climate change: real problems, false solutions

    EcoNexus, 2009
    Agriculture plays an important role in climate change, both as a contributor emitting greenhouse gasses (GHGs) and as a potential reducer of negative impacts. This paper gives an overview of how current and proposed agricultural practices affect climate change and how the proposed measures for mitigation and adaptation impact agriculture.
