Save the Children International’s Climate risk responses evidence review and synthesis

Due to a lack of robust evidence on successful child-sensitive locally-led climate adaptation, Save the Children International (SCI) has commissioned IRMA to conduct a rapid structured scoping of evidence. SCI intends to identify the most promising solutions to address climate risks affecting children, particularly those experiencing inequality and discrimination. 

Marking the initial phase of a wider SCI effort, this review will explore actions across SCI’s six priority sectors:education, child protection, social protection, livelihoods, health, and WASH and will highlight contexts involving migration and displacement.

The overarching objectives of this review are to:

  •       Identify, review, and consolidate existing evidence on the most promising solutions.
  •       Highlight Gaps in existing evidence and explore opportunities to generate new evidence.

Ultimately, the results of this review will provide insights to advocate for the best use of climate finance in support of children adapting to climate change. Additionally, it will inform the development of business initiatives and program design for interventions that prioritize child-centered locally-led adaptation.
