Working with case studies from Nepal and Kenya, under the Building Resilience and Adaptation to Climate Extremes and Disasters (BRACED) programme, the research tests an innovative methodology to compare people’s resilience by disaggregating different variables. This package of research aims to inform institutional policy and operational practice around intersectional approaches to vulnerability reduction and resilience-building.Read the research Summary note | Building resilience for all: intersectional approaches for reducing vulnerability to natural hazards and climate changeDocumentpdf Report | Building resilience for all: intersectional approaches for reducing vulnerability to natural hazards in Nepal and KenyaDocumentpdf Country briefing | Building resilience for all: intersectional approaches for reducing vulnerability to natural hazards and climate change: findings from NepalDocumentpdf Country briefing | Building resilience for all: intersectional approaches for reducing vulnerability to natural hazards and climate change: findings from KenyaDocumentpdfRelated Linking financial services and social protection for resilience: lessons from KenyaThis brief examines the links between cash-based assistance and financial inclusion interventions to build resilience to climate-related shocks.Briefing papers17 September 2019 The potential of Nepal’s social security allowance schemes to support emergency flood responseAssessing the use of cash-based responses through Nepal’s existing social security allowance system to respond to emergencies.Research reports and studies13 May 2019Intersectional approaches to vulnerability reduction and resilience-buildingThis scoping paper explores intersectional approaches to vulnerability reduction and resilience-building.Research reports and studies3 April 2019 Child poverty, disasters and climate change: investigating relationships and implications over the life course of childrenExamining the links between child and adolescent poverty and climate- and natural hazard-related disasters at different stages of children’s lives.Research reports and studies14 March 2019See more:resiliencegenderdisabilityclimate changeNepalKenya
