Unequal access to resources creates differential capacities of women and men to adapt to climate change. The remoteness of climate hotspots limits access to markets and opportunities to diversify livelihoods. In glacier-dependent basins for instance, male out-migration leads women to enter traditionally male roles, requiring them to deal with money lenders and government officials. The paper advocates for research and policy that goes beyond simple sex-disaggregated data, to address the root causes of vulnerability.application/pdfenCOLLABORATIVE ADAPTATION RESEARCH INITIATIVE IN AFRICA AND ASIAGENDER ANALYSISSOCIAL EQUITYHOTSPOTSCLIMATE CHANGE VULNERABILITYDATA ANALYSISADAPTIVE CAPACITYWOMEN IN AGRICULTUREFINANCIAL SERVICESSOUTH OF SAHARAFAR EAST ASIAINTERSECTIONALITYWorking Paper
