Making the case for gender-inclusive fisheries governance, policies and climate adaptation

Abstract

Paper summary generated by OpenAI: This paper advocates for gender-inclusive fisheries governance and climate adaptation strategies, emphasizing the critical need to incorporate women’s perspectives and experiences in policy-making. Through a review of 122 scholarly publications, the authors highlight the socio-economic impacts of climate change on fishing communities, particularly focusing on the vulnerabilities faced by women fisherfolk in developing countries. The findings suggest that neglecting gender dimensions in fisheries governance exacerbates the challenges faced by marginalized groups and limits effective adaptation measures. The study calls for the implementation of frameworks that enhance women’s empowerment and participation in fisheries governance to support sustainable livelihoods and resilience against climate change.
