It serves as an example of how intersectionality can be integrated into climate change adaptation responses to promote equitable and inclusive outcomes.\n<\/p>\n<p>Again, it is important to remember that when it comes to intersectionality and climate change, we cannot make assumptions. We have to study, research, observe, discuss and \u2013 especially \u2013 ask and involve. In some cultures and countries, top-down (government-led) approaches rarely work as well as grassroots responses.\n<\/p>\n<p>Intersectional approaches to climate change adaptation recognise differential impacts and work to respond in ways that address the specific needs and experiences of marginalised communities. This involves engaging with these communities to better understand their lived experiences and their needs, and working together to develop adaptation strategies that are inclusive and equitable.\n<\/p>\n<p>For example, according to the International Centre for Climate Change and Development in Bangladesh, \u201c[w]omen and girls are the \u2018backbone\u2019 of building climate resilience.\u201d But there appears to be a contradiction in how women respond:\n<\/p>\n<p>I am doing a study on inclusive disaster risk management in the coastal belt. It is a very vulnerable area. I am studying different groups of people \u2013 men and women, the elderly, widows, and so on. There are a lot of differences between those groups. It\u2019s not only gender but also age, class, religion, ethnicity, etc. \u2013 everything that comes into defining their identity. However, women are still more vulnerable than men. <b>They are also more resilient. They know how to cope with the disaster as they are the first ones to take action when a disaster arises.<\/b> (Shamim, cited in The Daily Star, 2022, emphasis added)\n<\/p>\n<p>Women in South Asia face greater challenges compared to men during a disaster or crisis. Despite challenges, South Asian <b>women have proven that they have incredible potential to respond to disasters effectively<\/b>, which often goes largely unrecognised. To build gender-sensitive resilient strategies in the DRR (disaster risk reduction) process, it is necessary to address the gender needs of women and men using an intersectional lens.

Several studies pointed out that women and girls are more likely to drop out of social protection during disasters. The differentiated vulnerability to disasters is driven by gender inequality and socio-economic conditions, traditional practices, and access to technology. Most importantly, we must promote women\u2019s leadership in every sphere so that they can lead the change.

A diverse range of disabilities exists, and not everyone is able to properly express their needs. We need to keep this diversity in mind when distributing relief in the aftermath of a disaster. The system of washrooms in shelters should be accessible for everyone, but this is rarely the case for persons with disabilities. Women, especially women with disabilities, are likely to face sexual harassment in disaster shelters. Sometimes women with intellectual disabilities aren\u2019t even able to express the fact that they have faced harassment or violence. That is why we need to be vigilant about such issues when setting up shelters. I would also recommend that disaster shelters have people who know how to use sign language, because otherwise persons with disabilities [might] have problems communicating their needs. (Maisha, cited in The Daily Star, 2022)\n<\/p>\n<p>Persons with disabilities or mental illnesses are vulnerable to exploitation in shelter centres. We should ensure safety in these spaces. Persons with disabilities who have trouble moving should be provided with transport facilities during disasters.

Their connection to the land makes them both more vulnerable to impacts and more knowledgeable (known as traditional ecological knowledge) about necessary responses to climate change. There are many examples of Indigenous leadership around the world.\n<\/p>\n<p>Indigenous peoples have deep relationships and histories with the land and water, and rich knowledge systems that are guiding their work to respond to climate change \u2013 from food security challenges, wildfire and flood risk reduction to species protection and energy security. Indigenous communities have observations of the land going back much farther than written records of weather patterns and climate-related events, giving them insights into these changes and providing principles for good stewardship, adaptation and resilience. (Government of British Columbia, 2023)\n<\/p>\n<p>The poor and the elderly are among the most vulnerable populations affected by climate change. They often lack the resources (including physical health and strength) to respond and adapt to changes in weather patterns or extreme weather events and may face challenges in accessing basic needs such as food, water and healthcare in the aftermath of such events.\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"panel iDevice\">\n\t<div class=\"panel-heading idevice-heading\">\n\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"pedagogicalicon\" alt=\"activity\" src=\"https:\/\/course.fossdle.org\/baccc\/wp-content\/themes\/oeru-course\/idevices\/Icon_activity.png\">\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t<h2>Activity<\/h2>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"panel-body\">\n\t\t<div class=\"col-md-12\">\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>Read the case study below, and then, in your learning journal, respond to the questions.\n<\/p>\n<p>Tohura (65 years old) had bad memories of the climate-induced floods. She remembered the three severe floods: 1974, when she lost two of her daughters and her mature paddy (rice) and jute crops; 1987, when both her paddy and her jute fields were inundated, and 1988, when she managed to harvest some of her crops and jute. She thought that the 1988 flood was not as bad for people who had harvested and sold their crops or had storage space. But it was a great hardship for poor people like her who did not have storage facilities, who lived on low land and who had poorly constructed houses. However, her bitter experience of the two previous floods helped her to take some precautions before the flood. (Case study by M. Nasreen, 1995\/2019)\n<\/p>\n<p>1. Have you seen an elderly woman or man in your community responding to climate change impacts or a disaster? Describe the situation. If you have not witnessed such a situation, describe a possible scenario.\n<\/p>\n<p>2. What could they do to improve their crisis response ability and become better prepared?\n<\/p>\n<p>3. What should society or policymakers do to sustain the will of the elderly, especially those struggling with poverty? What types of support might they need?\n<\/p>\n<p>4. What can neighbourhoods do? What can you do to be of service to elderly people and those without many resources in the face of climate change disasters?\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nYou have now considered the intersectional climate change experiences and responses of several types of people (women, children and youth, rural people, elderly people, people living in poverty, Indigenous peoples and people with mental or physical disabilities).
