This book focuses on the gendered experiences of environmental
change across different geographies and social contexts in South
Asia and on diverse strategies of adapting to climate variability.
The book analyzes how changes in rainfall patterns, floods,
droughts, heatwaves and landslides affect those who are directly
dependent on the agrarian economy. It examines the socio-economic
pressures, including the increase in women’s work burdens both in
production and reproduction on gender relations. It also examines
coping mechanisms such as male migration and the formation of
women’s collectives which create space for agency and change in
rigid social relations. The volume looks at perspectives from
India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nepal to present the nuances of
gender relations across borders along with similarities and
differences across geographical,socio-cultural and policy contexts.
This book will be of interest to researchers and students of
sociology, development, gender, economics, environmental studies
and South Asian studies. It will also be useful for policymakers,
NGOs and think tanks working in the areas of gender, climate change
and development.
