“…An American study showed that women are more likely than men to: report concerns about climate change, to have a more accurate grasp of the science, but more likely to underestimate their scientific understanding . Similar results were found in Iran . Formal scientific knowledge is only one source of women's understanding of climate change.…”

“…Emily Boyd drew on Vandana Shiva's critique of development to argue that climate mitigation reflects a Western ‘masculine bias.’ That is, climate mitigation projects are based upon a Western mode of development that reinforces gender inequality by privileging technology and market‐oriented governance over sufficiency. More recently, gender theorists have argued that the political rationalities and social practices involved in climate action should be an object of feminist theorizing and empirical research . This work is discussed below.…”

This study reviews the literature on gender relations and climate change. Gender analysis contributes to our understanding of: (1) vulnerability and climate change impacts; (2) adaptations in different contexts; (3) responsibility for greenhouse gas emissions; (4) inequalities in climate governance; and (5) knowledges and social action on climate change. Overall, the literature has established that gender relations are an integral feature of social transformations associated with climate change. This poses a challenge to gender‐blind social research into climate change. Without gender analysis, we omit key aspects of social life in a changing climate. It is vital that the gendered character of climate change is recognized and further explored in the social sciences and humanities.

“…Action at the local level is hence fundamental to dealing with (or adapting to) climate change; much of this work at the grassroots level is undertaken by nongovernment, community and faith-based organisations who work directly with those whose lives are affected (Maclellan & Meads, 2016, p. 9). Evidence shows that participation by women's groups and other marginalised groups increases the effectiveness of technical assistance (OECD, 2008), contributes to social justice and change (Okerere & Coventry, 2016;OECD, 2016), poverty reduction and sustainability (Salehi et al, 2015), and improves the impact of climate finance (Adams et al, 2014;Wong, 2016) and climate outcomes (Biegel & Lambin, 2021;Smith et al, 2017;Soanes et al, 2017;CBM International et al, 2019;Atmadja et al, 2020). However, continued marginalisation and gender norms exclude these groups from climate decision-making and accessing climate finance (Smith & Greene, 2020).…”

This paper examines the issue of management of climate finance in the Global South. It acknowledges the efforts made by the various stakeholders so far but seeks to advance a clarion call for a more inclusive and targeted approach in dealing with climate change. The authors highlight the limited role played by least developed countries and small island developing states in contributing to the conversation on climate change. The authors emphasize the need for enhancing the role of the most vulnerable countries, marginalized groups, and indigenous peoples in the management of climate change. This rapid review focusses on the access to the Green Climate Fund by local civil society organisations (CSOs), indigenous peoples, and women organizations within the Global South. The authors observe that there still exist barriers to climate finance by local actors in the Global South. The authors note the need for more significant engagement of all local actors and the need to devolve climate finance to the lowest level possible to the most vulnerable groups. Particularly, climate finance should take into consideration gender equality in any mitigation measures. The paper also highlights the benefits of engaging CSOs in the engagement of climate finance. The paper argues that local actors have the potential to deliver more targeted, context-relevant, and appropriate climate adaptation outcomes. This can be attributed to the growing movement for locally-led adaptation, a new paradigm where decisions over how, when, and where to adapt are led by communities and local actors. There is also a need to build capacities and strengthen institutions and organisations. Further, it is important to ensure transparency and equitable use and allocation of climate finance by all players.
