Addressing gender in agricultural research for development in the face of a changing climate: where are we and where should we be going?
This synthesis from IFPRI demonstrates that men and women are exposed to different climate shocks, that impacts of climate change can be gendered, and that women are less likely to act to reduce their climate vulnerability. However, clear guidelines on how to address the needs of both men and women in different environments and agricultural systems are still lacking. The synthesis…
Does the gender composition of forest and fishery management groups affect resource governance and conservation outcomes? A systematic map

However, substantial gaps in the evidence base coupled with social, economic, and ecological differences globally, make it problematic to generalise the findings from India and Nepal to other geographies.
