Social protection, or social security, is defined as the set of policies and programmes designed to reduce and prevent poverty and vulnerability throughout the lifecycle . Safety nets are intended to protect vulnerable households from impacts of economic shocks, natural hazards and disasters, and other crises. The UN policy frameworks for sustainable development, including the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, the new Strategic Framework 2018-2030 of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification  and UNFCCC, highlight the essential role of social protection in promoting comprehensive risk management . Since the term Adaptive Aocial Protection was introduced by the World Bank  and the IPCC , it has been an emerging strategic tool to integrate poverty reduction, disaster risk reduction and humanitarian development into adaptation to climate change .
