| Zusammenfassung |
| Given that women are engaged in more climate-related change activities than
what is recognized and valued in the community, this article highlights
their important role in the adaptation and search for safer communities,
which leads them to understand better the causes and consequences of changes
in climatic conditions. It is concluded that women have important knowledge
and skills for orienting the adaptation processes, a product of their roles
in society (productive, reproductive and community); and the importance of
gender equity in these processes is recognized. The relationship among
climate change, climate variability and the accomplishment of the Millennium
Development Goals is considered. |
