    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 morepeople-centred, gender-aware climate change policies and processes? How do we respond to the different needs and concerns of women and men, and also challenge the gender inequalities that mean women are more likely to lose out than men in the face of climate change? This In Brief sets out why it is vital to address the gender dimensions of climate change.

This report sets out why it is vital to address the gender dimensions of climate change.

    Policy Papers & Briefs
    January, 2016
    Uruguay, Central America, South America

    The climate-smart agriculture (CSA) concept reflects
    an ambition to improve the integration of agriculture
    development and climate responsiveness. It aims to achieve
    food security and broader development goals under a
    changing climate and increasing food demand. CSA initiatives
    sustainably increase productivity, enhance resilience, and
    reduce/remove greenhouse gases (GHGs), and require
    planning to address tradeoffs and synergies between these
    three pillars: productivity, adaptation, and mitigation [1].
