How do gender approaches improve climate compatible development? Lessons from Peru

The brief examines gender-sensitive approaches to climate compatible development in urban Peru, specifically focusing on Risk Management and Climate Change Adaptation Networks (GRIDES). It finds that while women's leadership in these networks leads to implicit gender approaches in local government proposals, a lack of explicit understanding of gender results in a failure to include concrete measures for tackling gender inequality.

• The research indicates that when women hold leading roles within the Risk Management and Climate Change Adaptation Networks (GRIDES), the resulting local government proposals incorporate an implicit gender approach.
• Gender issues are frequently perceived as being exclusively for women or as theoretical concepts, and the absence of an explicit understanding of gender among relevant agencies means local plans do not contain concrete measures to address gender inequality.
