Last week, Dr. María del Mar Logroño Narbona, Senior Advisor at ARDD, presented our recent research on adaptive social protection and climate resilience in Jordan’s refugee camps during the International Workshop “(How) does social protection promote climate change mitigation and adaptation? Empirical evidence and way forward,” organized by the German Institute of Development and Sustainability (IDOS) at the IDOS Campus in Bonn, Germany, from 26 to 28 November 2025.
The workshop brought together researchers and specialists from around the world, providing a platform for dialogue on the relationship between climate change, adaptive social protection, and vulnerability.
Dr. Logroño Narbona’s presentation, “From Safety Nets to Climate Resilience? Adaptive Social Protection and Governance in Jordan’s Refugee Camps,” shared evidence on how climate risks, such as heatwaves, dust storms, and flooding, interact with governance structures, shelter conditions, and declining humanitarian assistance in Zaatari and Azraq camps.
ARDD emphasized the importance of climate-responsive humanitarian safety nets, strengthened health systems, and effective camp governance approaches that support refugee agencies as crucial elements for future climate adaptation efforts.
This contribution aimed to inform ongoing global discussions on the intersection of climate change, displacement, and adaptive social protection.
