The Class

The class aims to show the linkages between gender and climate change, the drivers of gendered vulnerability, and the lessons learned from years of implementing climate change programs and projects from a transformative perspective. It will take another forward step at trying to understand and apply these linkages and lessons in climate change deliberations and policy action.
