Short Summary |
In 2005, 23 participants gathered to discuss
gender and climate change related research, and its role and use in
women's / gender related advocacy in the
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) process.
Three questions were addressed: What do we need to know about gender
and climate change to influence UNFCCC negotiations? This included
the need for gender specific data and knowledge in various forms on
the causes and impacts of climate change - such as energy consumption
and affects on health. What do we know already? Discussions included
awareness that women are and will be affected more severely than men
by climate change due to its linkages with poverty (e.g. less resilience
against reduced land productivity) and reproduction (such as water
collection). Which questions need to be addressed by future research?
A strategic research agenda was formulated and included assessing
the impacts of climate change on poverty reduction, food and water
security, housing, disaster management and conflict.
