Climate Vulnerability and Adaptation for Women and Men in Anbar

The project focuses on understanding the climate vulnerabilities and adaptation strategies of men and women in the Anbar Governorate, Iraq. It explores the differential impacts of climate change on men and women, examining how socio-economic, cultural, and environmental factors shape their experiences and responses. It aims to:

• Assess how climate change impacts men and women differently.
• Identify vulnerabilities influenced by social roles, norms, and resources.
• Analyze gaps in legal, policy, and cultural frameworks.
• Provide gender-responsive recommendations.
• Strengthen community resilience to climate risks.

The methodology includes a desk review of literature and policies, stakeholder mapping, data collection through focus groups for men and women separately, individual interviews, and the application of a Theory of Change framework to analyze findings and propose actionable recommendations.
