Climate change impacts men and women differently, and understanding these differences is essential for building effective adaptation strategies. In Myanmar, women often face systemic barriers such as lower educational attainment, limited land ownership, and reduced access to markets, capital, and decision-making. Their economic contributions, particularly in agriculture and fisheries, are also underrecognized in official statistics. This case study highlights how the Myanmar Climate Change Alliance (MCCA) integrated gender considerations into vulnerability assessments, policy development, and adaptation planning. By embedding gender perspectives into climate strategies, MCCA aims to ensure that adaptation efforts are inclusive, equitable, and aligned with the Myanmar Climate Change Strategy and Master Plan.
