    Current estimates of climate change state that the world’s average temperature is due to increase by at least 2oC to 2.4oC over the next 50?100 years. Furthermore it is expected that by the end of the century a range of additional impacts will be felt: sea levels will rise by an estimated 60cm, resulting in flooding and the salinisation of fresh water aquifers, and snow and ice cover will decrease. Simultaneously, precipitation patterns will change so that some areas will receive large increases whilst other areas will become hotter and drier.

    Las mujeres aportan contribuciones significativas a la economía rural en todas las regiones de los países en desarrollo. Sus roles difieren según las regiones, aunque siempre tienen un menor acceso que los hombres a los recursos y oportunidades que necesitan para ser más productivas. Si se incrementara el acceso de las mujeres a la tierra, la ganadería, la educación, los servicios financieros, la extensión, la tecnología y el empleo rural, aumentaría su productividad así como la producción agrícola, la seguridad alimentaria, el crecimiento económico y el bienestar social.

    Les femmes participent de manière considérable à l’économie rurale dans toutes les régions en développement. Si les rôles qu’elles assument sont différents selon les régions, on observe toutefois partout qu’elles ont un accès plus restreint que les hommes aux ressources et aux débouchés qui leur permettraient d’être plus productives.

    Poor women in developing countries rely on land as source of livelihood. Increasing pressure on land — brought on by globalisation pressures, increased population and privatisation — undermines women’s land tenure security. The comparison of women’s land access is predominantly measured against that of men, and this has been the basis for formulating policy aimed at increasing women’s land tenure security. However, this dichotomy reduces women to a homogenous group which experiences tenure security in an identical manner, so the dichotomy masks several differences which exist among women.
