The impacts of climate change are widely recognised as being among the leading threats to the eradication of extreme poverty. Climate change is not only expected to keep people currently living in poverty trapped there, but also threatens to cancel out progress that has been made to reduce poverty.

This paper provides a high-level summary of the latest, well-evidenced research on measures to address extreme poverty amidst high rates of migration, and to identify priority areas where further research would contribute value. 

This paper examines how Fragile, Conflict-affected, and Violent (FCV) settings have impacted efforts to reduce extreme poverty today and concludes that given the complex relationship between FCVs and poverty, a flexible portfolio approach that responds to different sources of impoverishment is needed.

This paper explores the role social norms may play in efforts to reduce extreme poverty by 2030. It has two primary objectives. First, to summarise the latest well-evidenced research on efforts to tackle extreme poverty through policies and programmes that address social norms.
