Abstract

The presentation provides an overview of research to identify the drivers of vulnerability (including both men and women’s experiences) to climate-related water stresses in three selected peri-urban areas in Vietnam, Thailand and the Philippines. The theoretical framework utilizes a political ecology approach to investigate vulnerabilities and adaptation strategies, and to assess institutionally-organized and supported adaptation programs with gender analysis. Early results and implications for policy as well as further research are included.
