Gender, cultural identity, conflict and climate change

SEPTEMBER 2023

Gender and social inequality, the climate crisis and conflict are three of the biggest challenges of our time. But despite clear connections, there is a gap in evidence about how all three interact in practice. In many of the contexts where we work, our partners have increasingly highlighted that climate change is complicating and exacerbating conflict, often in relation to gender and cultural dynamics. Through insights from our partners in Uganda, Pakistan-administered Kashmir and the Philippines, this report provides lessons for more gender and culturally responsive peacebuilding and climate programming and policy.
