The Guide is an important resource for development professionals and researchers working with households and communities. The objective of the Gender and Climate Training Guide is to address the lack of information on how men and women adapt to, and mitigate climate change. The Participatory Action Research methods and activities of the Guide help ensure that gender is reflected in research activities and outcomes. The Guide will help promote gender-sensitive adaptation and mitigation activities in projects for agriculture and food security. A gender-sensitive approach in agriculture is crucial to ensure that all people are supported to respond to climatic challenges.
