Overview

Scoping review analyzes intersections of gender equality and climate change in Sub-Saharan Africa, highlighting adaptation gaps and policy needs.

Key Points

  • Gender disparities increase vulnerability to climate change for women and marginalized groups in Sub-Saharan Africa.
  • Women experience greater climate-related challenges due to systemic exclusion and cultural norms hindering their empowerment.
  • The review used the PRISMA-SCR framework to assess 25 studies from 2016 to 2024 on gender, climate impacts, and policy.
  • Bridging critical policy gaps with gender-responsive frameworks can enhance sustainable development and resilience against climate change.
