Safeguarding Human Capital COP29 Event Banner

Climate change threatens to disproportionately impact vulnerable children and their families in all contexts, exacerbating conditions of poverty and eroding human development. While climate finance has become a topic of key importance for climate politics, it is critical to ensure that these resources can be effectively channeled to protect economically vulnerable households from the impacts of climate change.

Join UNICEF, together with the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection of Population of Azerbaijan, and the World Bank Group to explore how Adaptive Social Protection can help protect human development and reduce future climate risks. Social Protection and climate finance experts will also talk about how to mobilize adaptation and Loss and Damage financing to strengthen social protection systems and resilience.
