These five case studies bring to the fore issues women in these countries face and how they are further complicated by the impacts of climate change. Each country page begins with an overview of the national circumstances with respect to climate change and then goes on to spot light the unique challenges with which women are confronted. It ends with a policy brief on what is being done on the government and NGO levels to address these issues.
