“…After years of relatively stable inflation rates (ranging from 4 to 5% annualized by month), inflation rates began accelerating to 6% and more in October 2021 -when T1 data were collected (42). Among other challenges, the Russian invasion of Ukraine has challenged food systems in East Africa -including Kenya (43,44). These dynamics provide global context for reports of out-migration from study communities due to economic and food instability.…”

IntroductionStrong policy guidance has recently emerged identifying focal points at multiple levels and across sectors to end the persistent HIV pandemic and related inequities. Reducing the policy-implementation gap, as with the evidence-policy gap, requires strategic alignment between interventional research and policy realms. Global- and national-level HIV policy indicate a need for community-led efforts to reduce HIV stigma, and increase uptake of HIV prevention tools.MethodsThis study assesses a process-driven approach to facilitating community-led efforts to reduce HIV stigma, and build a generative context for community-led HIV prevention. The study intervention combines an adapted group-based microfinance process, a novel psychological curriculum, and leadership development at a scale now involving over 10,000 rural Kenyans across 39 villages.ResultsConsistent with interventional goals, and current relevant psychosocial theories, we find collective emotion, and HIV stigma (blame and discrimination) significantly improve with more time participating in the in the program and novel curriculum. Further, HIV stigma predicts subsequent reporting of ever being tested for HIV, and the intervention led to the development of “HIV prevention resource committees” – groups of participants committed to undergo training to reduce HIV stigma and prevent HIV within their communities.DiscussionImplications for further research to reduce the HIV policy-implementation gap are discussed, directly within this interventional context and more generally.

“…It is argued that climate‐related loss and damage substantially hinder the full enjoyment of human rights, particularly pertaining to civil, social, cultural, political, and economic rights (Levy & Patz, 2015). For instance, climate change has profound effects on human health by reducing access to safe water, increasing the likelihood of disease outbreaks, and expanding food insecurity due to climate‐induced food‐system breakdowns (Laganda, 2023), also aggregating NELD of vital importance. Notably, in 2021, the UN Human Rights Council formally adopted a resolution recognizing the human right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment.…”

Turning climate justice into practice? Channeling loss and damage funding through national social protection systems in climate‐vulnerable countries

Despite the last‐minute breakthrough agreement at the UN Climate Change Conference COP27 to provide funding for climate‐related loss and damage for vulnerable countries, distribution mechanisms and funding sources remain up for debate. With rapid‐onset climate impacts intensifying and slow‐onset impacts further manifesting, loss and damage from climate change is already occurring. Thus, quick, effective, and transparent distribution of upcoming funds is necessary. Currently, only a tiny fraction of existing sources of climate finance reaches affected communities, commonly marked by high levels of poverty and low levels of adaptive capacity. Similarly, donor‐based global humanitarian aid and development systems are buckling under the weight of increasing demand. As increasing climate impacts threaten to reverse development gains of the last decades, climate‐sensitive social protection has received increasing attention for its potential to address climate impacts and to strengthen the adaptive capacity and resilience of climate‐vulnerable populations. This review article explores the prospects of channeling Loss and Damage funding through existing national social protection systems and highlights how this approach can efficiently contribute to safeguarding development gains, including previously overlooked aspects such as noneconomic loss and damage (NELD), while also dismantling soft adaptation barriers and thus fostering climate resilience in the long term. Although we identify barriers, including gaps in coverage of social protection systems both between and within countries, we argue that channeling some L&D funding through social protection systems aligns with core human rights and climate justice agendas, as well as the principle of Common But Differentiated Responsibilities and Respective Capabilities.This article is categorized under: Integrated Assessment of Climate Change > Assessing Climate Change in the Context of Other Issues Policy and Governance > International Policy Framework Vulnerability and Adaptation to Climate Change > Values‐Based Approach to Vulnerability and Adaptation

“…Entities such as the United Nations, the Columbia Center on Sustainable Investment, World Food Programme, World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and others state that the world food system is in crisis. The world is facing severe problems with unhealthy diets, unsustainable food production, food losses, increasing food waste, poverty in farm communities, and an overall vulnerability of the food system to deal with climate changes and other crises [1] , [2] , [3] , [4] .…”
