Climate risks place a heavy burden on many households in developing countries, with basic needs such as food, water and shelter threatened. Some people and households finance adaptative measures by using savings and capitalising assets, taking loans from banks and private lenders, while others might receive support from social protection schemes.

Reflecting on a number of examples, this online event on Thursday, 2 April (4.30-6pm BST) will explore the role of social protection schemes and how they can incorporate climate-resilience objectives and respond to the different needs of women and men.
