Making it Count: Integrating Gender into Climate Change and Disaster Risk Reduction

Share this resource

Climate change affects women and men differently. Unequal access to resources, rights and opportunities between women and men means that they also experience the impacts of climate change and disastersin different and unequal ways. To ignore these inequalities is to ignore a key factor in the success or failure of our work.

This guide provides an accessible and functional entry-point to promote gender equality in climate change and disaster risk reduction programming.The authors encourages colleagues to use this guide into every-day work practices: to question whether activities are supporting gender equality, and to identify simple and practical steps which ensure a win-win result on gender equality, climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction.
