In this three-part podcast special, you will hear leading researchers explore the important intersection of gender, climate, and knowledge. Recorded at the Gender and Development Conference at the University of East Anglia (UEA) in June 2025, in Norwich, UK, these conversations bring together insights from across the world.

How do communities on the frontlines of climate change adapt, and who benefits most? In this episode, we hear from early career researchers working on community-led projects in Bangladesh and Indonesia, exploring how women and men experience climate risks differently.

From local forecasting tools to coral reef resilience, these researchers reveal the gaps between gender-sensitive policies and what actually happens on the ground, and why co-creating solutions with communities is essential for effective adaptation. They share practical recommendations for making climate adaptation policies more inclusive, intersectional, and effective for both men and women. 

With thanks to CLARE, a UK-Canada framework research programme on Climate Adaptation and Resilience, for facilitating participation in the conference.
