Abstract
For the first time in India a high-level policy document has acknowledged the significance of gendered impacts of climate change, and the need to address gender concerns in adaptation interventions. However, making climate change adaptation policies and programmes sensitive to gender issues requires a nuanced understanding of gendered forms of vulnerability, and a stronger commitment of resources to address specific gendered priorities. Drawing on insights from coastal Gujarat in India, this article illustrates how researchers and practitioners can collaborate to strengthen learning across communities and regions.
