Gender approaches in climate compatible development: Lessons from Kenya

The report investigates how gender relations influence vulnerability to climate risks and the ability to adapt in urban settings, specifically focusing on the People’s Plans into Practice (PPP) project in Kisumu, Kenya. It explores the meaning of gender-sensitive approaches in this context, their impact on empowerment, and the associated constraints and opportunities for achieving climate compatible development outcomes.

• Gender is identified as a significant driver of vulnerability to climate risks and a critical element for creating effective policy responses to climate change and development challenges.
