Abstract
The study aimed to investigate gender dimensions of social vulnerability to climate change; assess the adaptive capacity of men and women at community level and the social capital available to them; and formulate a set of gender specific policy recommendations for provincial and district governments. The vulnerability of women to climate changes can be viewed as a chronic state of being rather than an outcome of environmental extremes, which can be explained by a combination of socioeconomic, political and environmental factors.
