This package or research aims to inform institutional policy and operational practice around intersectional approaches to vulnerability reduction and resilience-building.Working with two projects under the the Building Resilience and Adaptation to Climate Extremes and Disasters (BRACED) programme, the research looks at the application of intersectional approaches in vulnerability reduction and resilience building, with case studies from Nepal and Kenya. The research explores vulnerability and resilience beyond the women/men binary, testing an innovative methodology to compare people’s resilience by disaggregating different variables.Read the research Summary note | Building resilience for all: intersectional approaches for reducing vulnerability to natural hazards and climate changeDocumentpdf Report | Building resilience for all: intersectional approaches for reducing vulnerability to natural hazards in Nepal and KenyaDocumentpdfRelatedIntersectional approaches to vulnerability reduction and resilience-buildingThis scoping paper explores intersectional approaches to vulnerability reduction and resilience-building.Research reports and studies3 April 2019Working paper: Double vulnerability: the humanitarian implications of intersecting climate and conflict riskThis paper summarises current knowledge and analysis of the interactions between climate and conflict.Research reports and studies21 March 2019 Violence against women and girls and resilienceLinks, impacts and perspectives from the Chadian contextWorking and discussion papers17 January 2018See more:NepalKenyaclimate changedisabilitygenderresilience
