BASIC Research Theme Brief

Social Assistance and Climate Resilience in Fragile and Conflict-affected Settings

Published on 4 February 2022

This brief gives an overview of the evidence, gaps and future directions for social assistance and climate resilience, with a particular focus on FCAS. Drawing on a recent literature review, we examine existing debates and consider that climate-related social assistance in FCAS involves particular challenges, including risks of maladaptive support.
