Women adapting to climate change in Mozambique 02 December 2010
| Video Through its Climate Change and Development Project
(CCDP), IUCN is working to develop adaptation measures which
will sustainably safeguard local livelihoods and natural
habitats. Three country pilot studies of the project have been
completed in Africa that have given new insight into how local
livelihoods are being affected by climate variability and what
measures people can take to make their lives less vulnerable and
more resilient to the changing climate. In this video Roberto
Zolho, CCDP country coordinator in Mozambique, speaks about one
of the lessons that has emerged from the project: that
adaptation activities must integrate gender considerations, as
men and women respond to climatic impacts in different ways.
