Abstract

The paper provides an overview of gender-sensitive design in the Deltas, Vulnerability and Climate Change: Migration and Adaptation (DECCMA) project; how the design was elaborated; how the research process will be gender-sensitive, and the mechanisms that DECCMA has put in place to support this, with ongoing steps to ensure that the aims and objectives are met through a gender sensitive research process. Migration flows are strongly gendered: the focus of the DECCMA project is on climate change and sea level rise as well as other drivers such as economic changes or political conflicts that can affect migration.
