Climate funds and social protection: - What is the progress to date?

The aim was to identify the types of social protection projects being funded and the preferred instruments among actors, as well as to get an overview of the amount of funding currently being committed to them. [...] Review of climate funds for social protection While reviewing the climate funds and the level of funding provided to social protection-related projects through them, the research additionally identified the types of projects funded as well as the countries receiving this funding. [...] In Haiti, the project works to enhance the adaptive capacity of the education sector by retrofitting schools, implementing a Training of Trainers programme to upskill the local workforce in the construction industry, and provide training courses for students and teachers on how to apply disaster risk management techniques within the school (UNESCO, 2020). [...] The Joint SDG Fund allocated 2 million US dollars (1.83 million euro) for this project and works with local agencies such as the Ministry of Labour and Employment, the Prime Minister’s Office, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Ministry of Women and Children Affairs and the Ministry of Social Welfare. [...] This is evidenced by the funding of income support for smallholder farmers and producers, climate risk insurance initiatives to lessen the financial burden of climate change, and labour market schemes to foster the growth of the green economy.
