Climate change is increasingly being recognised as a global crisis, but responses to it have so far been overly focused on scientific and economic solutions. How then do we move towards more people-centred, gender-aware climate change policies and processes? How do we both respond to the different needs and concerns of women and men and challenge the gender inequalities that mean women are more likely to lose out than men in the face of climate change? This report sets out why it is vital to address the gender dimensions of climate change. It identifies key gender impacts of climate change and clearly maps the global and national policy architecture that dominates climate change responses.

The report maps pathways for making climate change responses more gender aware and – potentially –
transformative, arguing that gender transformation should be both a potential end goal and an important
condition of effective climate change responses and poverty reduction.
The report provides inspiring examples of locally relevant, gender-aware innovations from diverse global regions and contexts.
