  1. Addressingthe Social Dimensions of ClimateChange and ClimateRisk Management Margaret Arnold Senior Social DevelopmentSpecialist Social Dimensions of ClimateChange, SDV September 21, 2010

  2. What are the social dimensions of climate change? Overview of SDCC program – mitigation and adaptation pillars What does CC mean for DRM and Social Development? What does SD and DRM bring to CC? What are the entry points? Approaches and tools to integrate a social development approach to climate risk management related projects Examples from recent and ongoing work

  3. The lower the GDP, the more people killed by natural disasters

  4. World map reflecting carbon emissions *Annual aggregate national CO2 emissions 2000 Source: SASI Group (University of Sheffield) and Mark Newman (University of Michigan), 2006, cited in Global Humanitarian Forum (2009), The Anatomy of a Silent Crsis

  5. Emissions and vulnerability to climate change (adapted from SEG 2007)

  6. SDCC Practice Group:Focus on equity dimensions of CC within developing countries Resilience and pro-poor adaptation to climate change • understanding how climate- and non climate-related drivers of vulnerability interact with one another; • identifying appropriate operational and policy entry points for building societal resilience and pro-poor adaptation to natural disasters, climate variability and change; Social risks and opportunities in climate change action • both adaptation and mitigation can entail significant distributional, poverty and social impacts • maximizing the potential ‘development dividend’ from low-carbon growth strategies for poor and vulnerable groups, including the livelihood co-benefits of terrestrial (soil and forest) carbon schemes • minimizing the risks of elite capture and social exclusion in such forms of climate action.

  7. SDCC online learning module GOALS 1. Enhance understanding of vulnerability and resilience in order to improve the quality of advisory services and technical assistance 2. Explore how equity and good governance contribute to improved development effectiveness in the context of climate change 3. Provide information on tools and methods that enhance our capacity to achieve development effectiveness and avoid negative social impacts www.worldbank.org/sdcc

  8. 3 inter-disciplinary areas of study and practice related to poverty reduction

  9. A new context for development • Ever evolving, scientific information at global level on risk scenarios – ability to drill down effectively not there yet • Complex social responses to these impacts and issues of social justice - (substantive equity) • Critical need to increase voice, capacity and engagement of vulnerable groups in setting development and CC priorities at national and sub-national level (procedural equity) • High visibility agenda and political will to focus on risk in development • Opportunity/challenge to work across sectors and layers • $$$?

  10. What do DRM and SD bring to CCA? • Tangibility • Practical solutions • Lessons from decades of good and bad practice • Social accountability , social learning approaches and participatory methods • DRM as an important point of entry for dialogue and action

  11. Existing SD frameworks and toolsbringaddedvalue • SustainableLivelihoods Framework • Assets and Capabilities Framework • Social Risk Management Framework

  12. Tools and approachesforoperationalizingclimateriskmanagement and adaptation FromforthcomingSDCC OperationalToolkit

  13. Tools and approaches, cont.

  14. Example 1: Early warning in Bangladesh • Investment in cyclone shelters that were not being used • Women responded more to early warnings issued by women • Adjustments to physical space could make them safer and more comfortable for women • Promotion of women as disaster risk management champions

  15. Example 2:Andra Pradesh DroughtAdaptationInitiative (APDAI) • Bank studyonadaptation in AP recommended a strategywithfocuson local level • Pilottargetedthetwodistrictswithlowestincome • Dual focusonimprovedwatermanagement and livelihooddiversification • Focusonparticipatoryapproach in allstages • Of 19 pilots, more thanhalf are beingupscaled
