15. Food Security According to FAO’s hunger measure based on undernourishment, South Africa has less than 5% population undernourishment (2005-2007), Brazil ( 6% ) and India ( 21% ). Brazil’s “ Zero Hunger Program ” covering food access, agriculture and income generation, and South Africa’s “ National Integrated Food Security Strategy ” focusing on household food production, income opportunities; nutrition, and food emergencies reflect an integrated and formalised government strategy, while India ’s 20 or so food schemes are related to different government sectors and is not integrated.
34. Social Innovation: Linking Social Risk Mitigation and Productive Inclusion Source: Perch (2010). Programme summary Growth co-benefits Gender co-benefits Poverty co-benefits Environmental co-benefits Unique structural elements 1. Brazil’s PNPB adopts an explicit policy to incorporate family farmers into the biodiesel value chain. Incentives by GOB included distribution of seeds, technical assistance, credit and formal contracts for small-scale family farmers. Special economic incentive instruments target the less developed Northeast region (Zapata, et al., 2010). Structures the supply chain of biodiesel in Brazil and expands the sources for the production. Linked to a regulation that demands biodiesel/diesel blending into gasoline (of at least 5 per cent) (Zapata et al., 2010). Gender is not an issue that has been identified in the policy design of the PNPB. However, several women are small-scale farmers and take part in the programme. Directly integrates small farmers in new markets and provides a guaranteed additional source of income for them and their families. Expands low-carbon path of development. The Selo Social (Social Label) certification for purchases, gives tax exemptions to the refineries purchasing a minimum required amount from smallholder farmers, and full tax exemption to those purchasing from farmers in the Northeast region. (Zapata et al., 2010). 2. Ethiopia’s PSNP provides cash and food in exchange for work during the food insecurity and hunger period, (Davies et al., 2008). Maximises benefits across sectors; reduces need for emergency welfare mechanisms in times of drought. Includes focus on women and gender dimensions of poverty. Cash transfers alleviate stress and insecurity; build assets and gather funds for mitigating climate-related risks. Prevent the use of environmentally-damaging coping strategies particularly in times of drought. Safety net programme – linking social protection and climate change.
1) The richer and developed countries have undoubtedly contributed to the levels and scale of GHG emissions. Not only directly but through the terms of trade. Both travel and global business contribute.
Took education and health from being things we do and have innately and to being critical and valued inputs for development progress at the individual and macro-economic levels.
Ecosystem Assessment Initiative
A de-link between benefit-sharing and risk-sharing potentially undermines the sustainability of benefits – either due to them being impacted upon or wiped away by other shocks, negated by other realities (i.e. earnings by women that they are unable to spend due to inability to open bank accounts for example) or which are superficial in nature (these are largely communal or group-owned and no real impact/change occurs in assets, livelihood opportunities and development status).
Whether markets in carbon and carbon finance form part of responses to the multiple challenges of climate change, energy poverty and energy security, will depend on how well they are governed University of East Anglia (UEA) (2010). I also add here by whom and for whom .

SLF approaches which include income, variability, policy and systems Social Responsibility risk reduction model – looks at immediate and delayed consequences of shocks and considers conditional and situational factors of vulnerability And the SRM – prevention, mitigation and coping with stress, shocks and impacts

Even the tension between adaptation and mitigation is a symptom of the tension between the macro and the micro.
