Consider the disproportionate vulnerability of different gender and marginalized groups: Gender is an important determinant of adaptive capacity. Women, the youth and children oen make up a large number of the poor in communities that depend on the natural resource base for their livelihoods. As a result they are disproportionately vulnerable to and affected by climate change. Moreover, because of their roles, unequal access to resources and limited mobility, women and girls are oen disproportionately affected by disasters. This framework proposes gender-sensitive strategies for responding to the environmental and humanitarian crises caused by climate change.
