Abstract
How can social protection help tackle the impacts of climate change and improve household and community resilience in developing countries? This article sets out the case for more climate-responsive social-protection systems, and proposes a design framework to achieve this. Four features can help, namely: scaleable and flexible programmes that can increase in response to climate disasters and then scale back as necessary; targeting that responds to climate events; livelihood enhancements; and building institutions for climate and disaster risk management.
