Abstract
Written jointly with Women’s Climate Centers International (WCCI), this WRI working paper illustrates seven enabling factors needed to effectively integrate gender equity considerations into locally led adaptation processes. Featuring powerful case examples from Africa’s agricultural sector, the paper’s recommendations are relevant to all funders and implementers seeking to enhance communities’ climate resilience while fostering local agency, gender equality, and long-term transformative change.
