Policy brief: gender equality in climate change adaptation and disaster resilience in Viet Nam

This policy brief highlights key issues of gender inequality in CCA and DRR with the intention of strengthening gender equality in policies and plans and their implementation. It draws on the lessons learnt through studies and practical experience of various organizations in Viet Nam, particularly the Climate Change Working Group (CCWG) and Disaster Management Working Group (DMWG), Viet Nam Women’s Union (VWU), UN agencies and others. Recommendations are forward-looking on how to enhance the participation and leadership of women and strengthen gender mainstreaming/responsiveness in CCA and DRR in the context of the  post-2015 development agenda.
