Elevated temperatures have been associated with increased interpersonal violence, yet evidence from hospital, health-sector data remains limited.
The term ‘climate violence’ is increasingly used to describe the intersection of climate change and violence. In the research literature, climate violence has been conceptualised in varied ways, reflected in emergent and intersecting definitions and descriptions.
VAW can escalate during and immediately after shocks – this scoping review examines the associated risk and protective factors to mitigate VAW during and after shocks.
The Indo-Pacific faces frequent shocks (conflict, disasters, health crises) that increase violence against women. This review of 203 studies highlights urgent need for localised, gender-responsive policies.
The gender gap in risk preferences in rural farm households, with female farmers commonly viewed as more risk-averse than their male counterparts, may have profound implications for addressing the gendered impacts of climate change.
Exposure to extreme drought conditions may exacerbate risks of sexual violence against adolescent girls and young women, and gender-sensitive climate change adaptation policies are urgent.
In this paper we examine whether there are significant gender differences in the adoption of climate-smart agricultural (CSA) practices in sub-Saharan Africa.
