Climate change presents significant challenges; however, its effects are not gender-neutral and intersect with existing inequalities related to gender, income, location, and social status, often resulting in heightened risks for women in specific contexts. This unequal burden emphasises the importance of inclusive approaches to climate action and targeted strategies that address the underlying vulnerabilities, circumventing unintended negative consequences. This analysis attempts to map the current CDRFI policies and programmes, provide diagnoses of systemic gender gaps, and formulate evidence-informed recommendations to make Bangladesh’s CDRFI landscape more gender-responsive, socially inclusive, and effective.
