New ILO report highlights key role of social protection in climate change mitigation
GENEVA (ILO News) – The International Labour Organization (ILO) is issuing a new report on the key role that social protection systems can play in countering the impact of climate change and supporting a just transition.
The World Social Protection Report 2024-26: Universal Social Protection for Climate Action and a Just Transition, also offers new figures on the number of people globally who benefit from some form of social protection. It highlights some of the key gaps in social protection coverage, notably in countries that are among those worst affected by climate change.

Teleprompter
Worldwide 3.8 billion people predominantly in the global
South lack any form of social protection,
leaving them unprepared for life cycle risks
and the environmental challenges that lie ahead.
The stark disparity in the right to social protection
is a reflection of our deeply divided world.
The most urgent challenge is protecting those at
the front line of the climate crisis.
Children are particularly vulnerable to climate
crisis and will have increased needs for protection.
Filling these gaps to guarantee minimum social
protection for everyone requires concerted international cooperation.
The report serves a dual purpose.
Firstly,
it provides a comprehensive global overview of the state of social protection
and will only intensify as
these populations face escalating climate disturbances
and the adverse effects of slow onset changes
like rising sea levels and desertification and underinvestment.
On average,
countries allocate 2.9% of their GDP to social protection,
social protection,
including external support mechanisms like loss and damage financing.
The climate crisis implications on the world of work is
the most pressing and urgent threat that we have,
and the bad news is that the countries at the
front line of the climate crisis are the least prepared,
and they need to be protected.
The good news is we don't need to reinvent the wheel.
We actually know what to do.
We need to work
to ensure universal social protection.
This will help the countries to prepare through
making sure there is access to unemployment,
to health,
to emergency payments,
and by doing so,
making sure that the most vulnerable are protected from the climate crisis.
Social protection is both an enabler and a cushion to allow for helping
countries prepare for the green transition by
ensuring that countries have social protection.
They will be more prepared in terms of making sure
workers have the skills and the knowledge to find jobs
in green and low carbon economies,
and by doing so we actually make the
transitions more palatable both for workers and for employers
and for societies at large.
This will make a just transition possible.
