This report examines the role of gender in compounding these effects, examining the specific impacts of climate change on women and adolescents using insights from existing literature and interviews with multiple academicians, practitioners, and experts. Through this research, the authors sought to identify gaps in the existing research landscape (vis-à-vis the intersection of climate change, gender, and adolescent girls). It is, thus, prudent to note that this report is not meant to be an exhaustive list of the varied impacts, and even within the specified domains i.e. food systems, human capital, natural capital, and isolated climatic events, it is an exploration of the issue. It seeks to present a list of challenges and opportunities for Indian philanthropies to look into and locate strategic interventions with practitioners and organizations working in the space. It is worth acknowledging that the lack of data and evidence on the issue underscore a need to better research the topic. The purpose of this report is to make the most of available resources, pulling from the useful insights that could inform and strengthen future research on and interventions into gender and climate change.
