Australia recognises that the impacts of climate change on people are influenced by social pressures including discrimination based on gender, class, ethnicity, age, and disability. As such, Australia's Climate Change Action Strategy promotes social inclusion and gender equality, with a clear focus on vulnerable communities, which may include women and girls, gender diverse people, people with disability and indigenous peoples. The Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) Gender Policy and Strategy also commits ACIAR programs to addressing the differential impacts of climate change adaptation and mitigation on female and male farmers, to understand and leverage the benefits of gender-sensitive and gender-inclusive approaches to drive innovative and more transformative adaptation and mitigation options, and to increase gender equity in research, capacity building and development actions.
