Although climate change can adversely impact, frustrate, deter, and reverse social and human development, it also holds the potential to foster and contribute positively. Climate change impacts, therefore, require improved governance, shared knowledge and good practices, an instilled culture of risk management and resilience and behavior change fostered towards better use of global goods and natural resources within a green economic strategy. There are a number of generic and specific issues related to climate change, and social and human development. The main thematic areas of interest are poverty, population, health and nutrition, education and employment, gender, and socially-vulnerable groups. The vulnerable groups encompass children, youth, older persons, persons with disabilities, and forcibly displaced persons (refugees, asylum seekers and internally-displaced persons (IDPs).
