Urban climate risks and the role of social protection - short case studies

This brief gives an overview of different country case studies where social protection (SP) systems have been used to address risks arising from climate-related hazards in urban spaces. It also explores how the existing SP systems in Tanzania, Bangladesh and Ethiopia could be modified, given adequate resources, to become shock responsive. This is the second brief in the ‘Urban climate risks and the role of social protection’ series. The first brief, which provides an introduction to different climate-related hazards in urban areas and the role of SP in alleviating the impacts, can be found here.
