Gender-Based Approach to Climate Change Adaptation

As climate change exacerbates the frequency and intensity of disaster events, women and girls are often the first to be impacted and the last to recover, due to pre-existing inequalities and disparities.

The paper shares best practices and recommendations to improve gender-based climate change adaptation in Lombok and across Indonesia.
