One example of how climate change has a disproportionate impact on women and girls is the link between flooding and gender-based violence. from Social Development Direct: https://lnkd.in/gHDJEb8g #ClimateChange #EndGBV #SocialDevelopment #ClimateAction #ClimateJustice #GenderEqualityMatters

From Rising Temperatures to Rising Threats: My latest editorial in the Fall 2024 Society of Behavioral Medicine (SBM) Outlook explores the link between climate change and violence against women and girls. As climate crises intensify, so do the risks for vulnerable populations. We must address these challenges and create sustainable solutions to protect and empower survivors.

Climate change profoundly impacts child labor. Environmental disasters such as droughts and floods result in land degradation and crop failures, which destabilize livelihoods, and drive families deeper into poverty. Many are forced to leave their homes. In this struggle for survival, families frequently have no option but to send their children to work. To stop and prevent child labor, we must act now. Join us on June 5 for our 2024 World Day Against Child Labor event, where a panel of experts will share their insights and strategies for strengthening the resilience of families and communities vulnerable to climate disasters. https://lnkd.in/exU5gNra #WDACL2024 Solidarity Center Amber Barth International Labour Organization Eleanor Harry Sonia M.

For many, the climate apocalypse is already here. The richest nations need to help the poorest adapt with a Marshall Plan for the most impacted countries. Innovation and working with communities on the ground must be the way forward. If we cannot solve their problems in place look to mass migration and more conflicts. #climatecrisis #regenerativeagriculture #socialjustice #poverty

🌍 This week, we celebrated the World Environment Day on June 5th. Led by the United Nations Environment Programme, it is the largest global platform for environmental public outreach. This occasion encourages us to reflect on the impact of climate change on poverty. ⚠️ Climate change is evident through rising temperatures, more variable rainfall, droughts, and extreme weather events, all of which threaten ecosystems worldwide. The World Meteorological Organization reports that the past eight years (2015 to 2022) have been the warmest on record. 🌡️ Changes in global surface temperatures intricately interact with social and economic factors, affecting household poverty. Those already facing poverty often bear the brunt of these impacts and have the least capacity to cope. Their daily struggles to earn a living and maintain stable living conditions are intensified by the ongoing climate crisis. 🌪️ The increased frequency and severity of extreme weather events like hurricanes, floods wildfires, and droughts put lives in frontline communities at risk, displacing people from their homes and jeopardizing food sources and livelihoods. These effects amplify the risk of conflict, hunger, and poverty. 📊 Social protection, particularly cash transfers, can help address the urgent needs of the population after a shock. Providing immediate cash assistance can help households in effectively managing sudden income loss, mitigating food insecurity, and decreasing dependence on detrimental coping mechanisms. 📋 Given the increased risks due to climate change, for enhancing disaster readiness and preparedness we are supporting the UNICEF Europe & Central Asia Regional Office with an evidence base on the projected impacts of floods and possible cash transfer approaches for post-disaster recovery. In this respect, to empower policymakers in their emergency response planning, we are currently developing separate Interactive Social Policy Simulator (ISPS) tools for UNICEF country offices in Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Tajikistan; estimating the impact of floods on the level of poverty in each of the countries and the impact of cash transfers on alleviating this poverty impact. 📚 Read more about our recent projects on estimating the impact of shocks and using various cash transfer modalities to alleviate their impact here: https://lnkd.in/dtTpVBFh 📅 Or if you're interested in learning more about conducting a study in your country, click here to arrange a meeting: https://lnkd.in/dnsCgmNW #WorldEnvironmentDay  #Shocks  #NaturalHazards #ClimateChange #ShockResponsiveSocialProtection  #PovertyAlleviation #SocialProtection #CashTransfers  #Collaboration

Climate change is impacting children's lives in East Asia and the Pacific, where 65% face four or more climate-related threats, such as floods and pollution—nearly double the global average. Without urgent action, these threats could derail their futures, leaving them vulnerable to violence, child marriage, labor exploitation, and serious health issues, with girls being the most affected. These challenges also jeopardize essential services that children depend on, like healthcare, clean water, and education. Critical services for children need to be climate-smart and disaster-resilient. 👉 Read more: https://uni.cf/402f7i9 #APMCDRR2024 #OurResilientFuture #ForEveryChild  UNICEF Philippines Irwin Gabriel Lopez Asim Rehman Louise Gorton June Kunugi

Today on World Day of Climate Action, we want to highlight a recent case study from the Philippines which demonstrates the intersection between climate change and human trafficking. This study by Free The Slaves identified that climate disasters contribute to the following trafficking risk factors: - Poverty - Unemployment - Food insecurity - Migration - Displacement - Lack of healthcare access - Lack of education access - Psychological distress Currently, both disaster preparation and recovery efforts are directed toward acute crises only versus long-term, slow-onset events like crop failure due to heat. Aid tends to be unevenly applied, with many of the most vulnerable communities lying outside the government’s reach. How can we mitigate the vulnerabilities to trafficking that climate causes? Suggested actions include enhancing post-disaster assistance, increasing funding to programs that grow community resilience to natural crises, strengthening mutual support networks, and educating leaders about the close ties between trafficking and climate change.

🌍 Addressing Climate-Induced Displacement with Data-Driven Solutions🌪️ As we face an increasing number of climate-induced emergencies and disasters, the need for effective and efficient humanitarian responses has never been greater. This blog from last year is incredibly timely now, focusing on an innovative approach that leverages data and analytics to identify and anticipate displacement risks before they occur. By using data-driven anticipatory actions, humanitarian agencies can better prepare and respond to crises, ensuring that the most vulnerable populations receive the support they need promptly. This approach is crucial for mitigating the impact of climate change on displacement and enhancing our overall resilience to these growing challenges. #ClimateEmergency #ExtremeWeather #ClimateAction #Displacement #UNHCR #Resilience #DataDriven 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eP8-QJ89

At Results, our mission is to end extreme poverty, so why are we posting on #WorldEarthDay? 🌍 Increasingly climate change is wreaking havoc on the issues that we advocate for, including heath, nutrition, education, and opportunity. This is especially true for children 👇 Climate disruptions are placing children at risk with extreme weather events, water and food insecurity, emerging infectious diseases, and large-scale population migration forcing more than 40% of the world’s children to live in informal settlements. We're advocating for Canada to step up to #ReachEveryChild and this month in particular for our government to support #IDA21, which in part will help low-income countries address the impacts of climate change. #cdnpoli (for more & how you can help ➡ https://lnkd.in/g75xWUC4) Global issues are interlinked and we must all fight for the future of the planet and everyone on it.

Many disasters, often worsened by #climatechange, pose significant threats to the well-being of children and youth. UNICEF reports that around one billion children worldwide are at extremely high risk due to climate impacts and related disasters. #AreYouReady24 #DRRDay
