Understanding Climate Risks through an Intersectional Approach (iCRA)

The project responds to increasing interest in intersectional approaches in climate action, generating evidence-based recommendations for adaptation practitioners and policymakers to improve the integration of intersectional approaches in relevant processes and policies.

Objectives:

The objective of this project is to strengthen evidence based on intersectional approaches to adaptation to climate change. It has the following specific objectives:

• Enhance understanding of intersecting inequities and how they influence exposure and vulnerability to climate hazards in the context of climate variability and change.
• Explore how intersectional CRAs can be used to identify adaptation pathways that build resilience of the most vulnerable people.
• Develop policy recommendations to advance an intersectional approach in climate change adaptation.
