Climate Change and Gender: Study of Adaptation Expenditure in Select States of India
A journal article by Gyana Ranjan Panda, Saumya Shrivastava and Aditi Kapoor
The paper is an outcome of collaboration between Alternative Futures and Centre for Budget and Governance Accountability (CBGA) on climate change in the context of gender. Till now, the government action plans and policies have failed in addressing gender concerns that arise due to the impact of climate change. This work of Alternative Futures and CBGA focuses on filling the research gaps through analytical inter-linkages between gender and climate change.

This is a step towards incorporating gender concerns in the various sectors within the overall adaptation framework.
