Abstract
  • Research on the linkages between climate change, coastal communities and gender is scarce. In this presentation we address this from a marine resource management perspective based on ecosystem goods and services, gendered adaptive capacity and its links to transformative agency. The hypothesis is that there are gender differences in resource access, adaptive capacity and transformative agency to tackle the challenges that climate change is forcing. The presentation gives an overview of the working framework of a newly funded project from the Swedish Research Council that takes place in the WIO (mainly Tanzania and Mozambique). It is hoped that the project will bring valuable insights into the gender aspects in this context and theoretically will make an important contribution by developing a meaningful framework for the gendered analysis of the linkages between gender, marine resources and climate change. In addition it will bridge the resilience, reworking and resistance typology with current research on resilience and transformation towards breaking poverty traps.
