Orientation Guide on Gender Equality and Adaptation

Locally Led Adaptation & Resilience

Gender

For CARE, Gender Transformative Adaptation means designing and implementing programs that consider the differential impacts of climate change on women and men. We want to tackle poverty, inequality and food insecurity simultaneously, while continually addressing gender as one defining institution in the context of small-scale agriculture and natural resource management. We do this by collective transformation of fundamental gender-related power relations. 

CARE has developed a wide range of tools, guidance and research on gender equality and adaptation, particularly around agriculture and natural resource management. This document brings together CARE’s work over the past eleven years and draws from programing across CARE’s approach and global outcome areas. This resource provides an orientation in CARE’s gender transformative adaptation work.
