Gendered Analysis Of The Impact Of Climate Change On Poverty, Productivity And Food Insecurity

Climate change threatens livelihoods with evidence suggesting that it may increase poverty, hunger, conflict, and gender inequality. Already vulnerable regions, like the Asia-Pacific, are particularly threatened due to their heavy dependence on ecosystem services. However, while climate change is expected to have deleterious effects on human development, the magnitude of those effects, especially on the most marginalized women and girls, remains poorly understood. This report seeks to model the gendered effects of climate change on poverty, productivity, and food insecurity with a focus on the Asia-Pacific region and six priority countries in the Appendix.
