Communities are being devastated by climate disasters.
Workers are being negatively impacted by transitions in the energy system.

An important question is how social protection, particularly #BasicIncome can protect communities and workers, and support a #JustEnergyTransition (JET).
This factsheet by @IEJ_SA explores the international and local discussions and evidence on this question.

Our Shamil team is pleased to co-host the launch of Jordan's National Elderly Strategy 2025-2030 in Amman today, alongside the National Council for Family Affairs (NCFA) and @UNESCWA!
The second panel featured a lively discussion about how best to support older persons, especially through health and social services.
The importance of quick healthcare, care homes, and proper communication of programmes were key concerns.
The strategy launch has started a very important conversation about how Jordan will move ahead with an inclusive and comprehensive approach to providing financial security, and social and health care to older persons!
