Resumo(s)
Women are vulnerable to climate change (CC) and consequently natural disasters impact them adversely.
In this backdrop, the present paper attempts to explore the differential impacts of CC on women. Though
several initiatives have been undertaken to adapt to CC in India, there is still a gap in gendering such initiatives, thus calling for attempts at identifying knowledge gaps, and understanding the CC issues within
the context of gender. The study further suggests that women’s greater participation in disaster risk management, mitigation and adaptation processes is likely to enhance the effectiveness of measures taken to
address ill effects of CC.
