Brazil readiness assessment: delivering anticipatory social protection
This study uses the ASPIRE tool to evaluate the readiness and effectiveness of social protection systems in Brazil, identifying gaps and opportunities to improve anticipatory measures and climate resilience.
The analysis shows that, while Brazil has strong policy intent, mature delivery systems and proven crisis-response capacity, its current approach to climate risks remains predominantly reactive, relying on emergency measures after shocks occur.
The paper sets out a practical roadmap for embedding early, risk-informed action into existing social protection systems to protect communities from climate shocks and other risks.
By linking early warning data to pre-agreed triggers and financing, Brazil can shift from reacting to crises to protecting vulnerable communities before climate shocks escalate.
