Description
Climate change is driving escalating economic and human losses, particularly in least developed countries (LDCs) and Small Island Developing States (SIDS). For vulnerable countries, climate change erodes hard-won development gains, worsens food insecurity and pushes households deeper into poverty.

Early action through social protection offers one of the most effective ways to build climate resilience – protecting vulnerable households before disasters strike and reducing the cost of response.

Investment in social protection across low- and middle-income countries remains reactive, delivering support only after crisis strikes. Evidence shows that building resilience in advance is far more effective.

To address this challenge, IIED and partners developed the ASPIRE (Anticipatory Social Protection Index for Resilience) diagnostic tool, which assesses a country’s readiness to deliver early action through social protection across policies, systems, programmes and delivery mechanisms.

This online event will launch a landmark economic assessment across eight countries and 24 programmes, showing that early action through social protection delivers far better returns on investment than reactive humanitarian response.

Government partners will share how ASPIRE roadmaps are shaping proposals for the Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage (FRLD), while funders and partners discuss how to scale this approach and align national action with global processes, including the forthcoming International Court of Justice advisory opinion on climate obligations.
