UNICEF was created with a distinct purpose in mind: to work with others to overcome the obstacles that poverty, violence, disease and discrimination place in a child’s path. We advocate for measures to give children the best start in life, because proper care at the youngest age forms the strongest foundation for a person’s future
To assess the impact of this situation on children and adolescents, the UNICEF Office in Bulgaria intends to conduct a “light” Climate Landscape Analysis for Children (CLAC) that will examine the overall climate, environment, and energy (CEE) landscape in Bulgaria in terms of data, policy, programming, gaps, stakeholders and how it relates to children. It will look at:
Considering the role of social protection in responding to shocks, the CLAC will have a special focus on the national social protection system. It will look at how social protection has responded to recent shock events that affect poor and vulnerable people, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, the cost-of-living of crisis, and natural disasters. The review of the recent emergency response measures and the lessons learnt generated will support the formulation of policy recommendations for enhancing the shock-responsiveness of the national social protection system, for strengthening the linkages and synergies between social protection, disaster risk management and climate change adaptation action, and for the inclusion of social protection into national climate risk management strategies.
The “light” CLAC with a focus on social protection will be based on a desk review and may include key informant interviews. It will be informed by UNICEF’s Framework for Shock-responsive Social Protection (UNICEF, 2019) and other relevant documents.
