| description |
This study on Bangladesh was undertaken
to analyze the gender dimensions of climate change and the
role of institutions in reducing gender gaps. The study was
carried out in 20 sites covering 600 households, from March
2010 to May 2011, using both qualitative and quantitative
instruments. This note is organized into five sections. The
next section gives an overview of climate change and the
gender and institutional context in Bangladesh. The third
section presents the key study findings and is divided into
three subsections: site- and household-specific
vulnerabilities; analysis of gender dimensions of climate
change using the household data and four propositions; and
description of institutional challenges and gaps in
supporting the resilience of women and men. Section four
provides examples of adaptation programs in Bangladesh, and
section five provides recommendations for enhancing
gender-responsive adaptive capacity in Bangladesh. |
