Weathering the storm: Climate shocks threaten children鈥檚 skills and learning but social protection can mitigate impact
This policy brief brings together Young Lives evidence on the impact of early climate shocks on children鈥檚 basic skills and learning.
Abstract
Young Lives evidence shows that impacts are not irreversible or inevitable, and even more significantly, new research finds that social protection, for example food aid, can mitigate negative effects, reducing climate induced inequalities in skills development, learning and education, particularly for those living in the poorest households.
This is an output of the Young Lives at Work programme.
