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. 606 $aClimate change mitigation 615 0$aClimate change mitigation. 676 $a363.738746 702 $aPatel$b Amrita 702 $aPrakash$b Anjal 702 $aRao$b Nitya 702 $aHans$b Asha 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910476949303321 996 $aEngendering Climate Change$91981656 997 $aUNINA
