Gender Sensitive Adaptation

Section outline

Adaptation has become the buss word in climate change negotiations and is an ever more pressing need for countries around the world. The UNFCCC’s focus on system rather than people ignores gendered nature of climate change and the gendered effects of adaptation measures. When working different actors – government agencies or local communities – we encounter different levels of gender awareness, perceptions and experiences. This requires different approaches and tools. What works in one context may not be applicable or useful in another.

You are working in adaptation and would like to raise awareness of the importance of gender in adaptation regarding:

a)      local authorities/government

b)      local NGOs

c)      local communities?
