How do gender approaches improve climate compatible development? Lessons from India
July 2016
This policy brief explores the advantages and challenges of integrating a gender dimension into climate compatible development strategies in urban settings, with a focus on the Asian Cities Climate Change Resilience Network (ACCCRN)
project in India.
The document presents the following key messages:
- Gender-sensitive approach to climate compatible development is fundamentally different in cities.
- Urban residents demonstrate different vulnerabilities and capacities for facing the impacts of climate change.
- Project activities should be adapted to address gender differences.
- Popular participatory methods developed in the context of rural settings can be adapted to suit the urban setting.
