Gender and climate change resilience and adaptation: review of literature and policy implications
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Climate change (CC) has exerted mounting pressure on global resources. Consequently this had led to an increase in research spanning mitigation, adaptation and resilience (Bryan et al., 2017; Chersich & Wright, 2019; Opoku et al., 2021). CC, characterized by long-term shifts in temperature and weather patterns, has diverse effects on human settlements, agricultural productivity, the environment, human and animals' health, and energy resource-use. Despite being a worldwide phenomenon, the CC impacts are particularly pronounced in the global south due to the amplified vulnerability stemming from limited resources, inadequate infrastructure, weakened governance and institutions, and fragile economic and social systems. These factors hinder the effectiveness and slow down the adoption of interventions aimed at adapting to and building resilience against CC.
