This Supporting Resources Collection (SRC) forms one part of the Cutting Edge Pack on Gender and Climate Change. It complements the Overview Report, which highlights the need to put people at the centre of climate change responses, paying particular attention to the challenges and opportunities that climate change presents in the struggle for gender equality. The Overview Report promotes a ‘transformative’ approach in which women and men have an equal voice in decision-making on climate change and broader governance processes and are given equal access to the resources necessary to respond to the negative effects of climate change; where both women’s and men’s needs and knowledge are taken into account; and where the broad social constraints that limit women’s access to strategic and practical resources no longer exist. This first section explains what is in the SRC, the key issues addressed, the structure, and the processes that led to its development, as well as explaining key terms relating to gender and climate change.
