Climate and disaster resilient gender programming: A guide for Pacific Women Lead partners

Climate change and disasters are affecting communities across the Pacific, often deepening existing gender inequalities. Women and girls face particular challenges, including disruptions to livelihoods and essential services, increased unpaid care responsibilities and greater risks of gender-based violence. At the same time, Pacific women are leading efforts to build climate and disaster resilience in their communities.

This practical guide supports Pacific Women Lead partners to integrate climate and disaster resilience into their existing gender equality programs. It identifies simple, low-cost or no-cost actions that can strengthen climate resilience while advancing gender equality.
