How to ensure bioenergy and forest projects respect social justice
Check out our new explainer:
- We need vast forest restoration and probably lots of energy crops
- These offer big environmental and social benefits but also big risks
- Projects must respect social justice - livelihoods, food production, culture and more

Important recommendations on urban social protection for COVID recovery include:
-Enhance registration efforts to create a broader base of urban beneficiaries
-Integrate urban poverty/vulnerability data in social registries
-Prepare delivery mechanisms to cope with urban shocks
Was #Covid19 an opportunity for #urban #cashtransfers?
Possibly...definitely more awareness of urban needs and vulnerabilities, but jury is out on how this translates in expansions urban #socialprotection
