Gender Assessment

The report assesses the macro gender context in India, highlighting significant disparities in education, healthcare, and economic participation. It details how climate change disproportionately affects Indian women, particularly those in agriculture and resource management, and outlines a Gender Action Plan for the Avaana Climate and Sustainability Fund to integrate gender inclusivity into its investment process and portfolio companies.

• Climate change disproportionately impacts women in India because they are the primary dependents on natural resources for food, water, and fuel; for example, women spend 46 minutes per day fetching water compared to 22 minutes for men.
• Women farmers in India are highly vulnerable to climate impacts like droughts and floods due to limited access to land, credit, technology, and agricultural extension training.
