UN News: Global Perspectives on Social Protection and Climate Vulnerability
Global Perspectives on the Importance of Social Protection
The International Labour Organization (ILO) reports a concerning trend: half the world is currently without essential social protection. As climate change continues to pose severe threats, this lack of coverage leaves millions vulnerable.
Challenges Faced by Climate-Vulnerable Populations
- Over 90% of the population in climate-vulnerable areas lacks social safety nets.
- Economic shocks disproportionately affect marginalized groups.
- Social protection is critical for resilience and recovery.
Urgent Calls for Action
The ILO emphasizes the urgent need to expand social protection policies globally. As the climate crisis intensifies, secure and effective coverage must be prioritized to protect human stories impacted by these changes.
