Did you agree that to mainstream gender in projects addressing climate change, it is important? The following are issues to be consider understand the level of vulnerability of women (or men) to it. In male-dominated societies, women have little access to information; therefore, they may not be aware about the impact of their activities on the climate despite possessing responsive behavior. In male-migrated areas, where women carry out traditional farming and firewood collection, they may suddenly reach a point in time where they may face problems of land degradation and scarcity of forests. Besides, they may suffer more from the results of natural disasters in their rural locations.
