Â鶹ÊÓƵ

A series of country case studies delineating the Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s long-term support in strengthening national social protection systems around the globe.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ is committed to scaling up Anticipatory Action programmes to protect more individuals before extreme weather events occur. This page showcases the Anticipatory Action activations throughout 2024, detailing the number of people reached and the specific anticipatory actions implemented in each country. These proactive measures aim to prevent or reduce the humanitarian impacts of predicted shocks, ensuring a faster, more cost-effective, and dignified response while protecting development gains.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ in Asia and the Pacific adopts a proactive risk-management approach to the climate crisis through anticipatory action.

Countries in the Asia Pacific region are the most vulnerable to the impacts of climate-related events even though, historically, they have contributed the least to the climate crisis. The diversity of climate-related risks and hazards they face underscores the critical need for Climate and Disaster Risk Finance and Insurance (CDRFI) instruments which can help reduce the economic and human cost of disasters.

This research programme explores the investments being made to make social protection a viable vehicle for disaster response in three countries that face regular large-scale climate shocks, and aims to identify the value derived, and the benefits and challenges arising.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ is committed to scaling up Anticipatory Action programmes and protecting more people before extreme weather events strike. This page displays the activations that occur throughout the year. It shows the number of people reached and the types of anticipatory actions being implemented in each country. These AAs aim to prevent and/or lessen the humanitarian consequences of predicted shocks, while delivering a quicker, more cost-effective, and more dignified response.

The R4 Rural Resilience Initiative is Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s flagship approach for integrated climate risk management. The initiative combines four risk management strategies: improved natural resource management through asset creation or improved agricultural practices (risk reduction), microinsurance (risk transfer), increased investment, livelihoods diversification, and microcredit (prudent risk taking) and savings (risk reserves).

This briefing captures the lessons from a study conducted on the fruitful inter-organizational collaboration that took place in Bangladesh from 2015-20.

Sustainable energy solutions are critical for global climate action. This factsheet explains how Â鶹ÊÓƵ is providing clean cooking facilities to schools.

An impact evaluation by the Center for Disaster Protection (CDP) finds that Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s Forecast-based Financing programme had a substantial positive impact on the beneficiaries¡¯ food security, asset loss and damage, and overall wellbeing.
