Physical impacts resulting from such accumulation such as rising temperature, rising sea levels, extreme events will dramatically alter the natural balance of local and global ecosystems and will infringe on human settlements (Figure 1). Consequently, vulnerable groups such as poor, especially women will be faced with problems such as food insecurity, loss of livelihood, hardships due to environmental degradation which also lead to displacement and a whole host of potentially devastating economic and social consequences. It is the poor women who are vulnerable and will bear the adaptation burden despite their insignificant contribution to GHG emissions.
This paper by Jyoti Parikh provides a framework to analyze gender and climate change concerns keeping in view the strengths and vulnerability of poor - women in particular. The author also provides policy recommendations for policies and actions. Full paper in PDF format (607KB); Number of pages: 47p: Source: UNDP, India
