Exploring the Impact of Community-Based Adaptation Measures on Building Gender Responsive Resilience to Climate Change

The study focuses on how community-based adaptation (CBA) measures in southern Bangladesh enhance community resilience by considering gender in climate adaptation strategies. It emphasizes addressing the unique challenges women face in climate change contexts to ensure successful adaptation efforts. Key implications involve empowering women economically, implementing localized adaptation strategies, promoting gender equality, developing capacities, and strengthening social networks. Establishing community-led committees with equal representation of women and men fosters inclusive decision-making processes, which are essential for the sustainability and acceptance of adaptation measures. Inclusive governance, using diverse perspectives and experiences, results in more comprehensive and effective solutions by harnessing the community's collective strengths to tackle climate challenges.
