Climate risks are contextual. Various systemic structures and processes, visible in physiological, cultural and socio-economic aspects of day-to-day life, make the women more vulnerable and prone to adverse effects of climate change in comparison to men. These differential impacts are not limited to mere climate-related mortality and physical damage and loss but often are long-term and intangible in nature. The chapter examines these differential impacts of climate change on women. It studies the systemic interactions among the underlying drivers of risks and underscores how the existing social, economic, and cultural inequalities are further reinforced during the climate crisis. Using the case study of Udham Singh Nagar, Uttarakhand, India, the chapter highlights how gendered roles across sectors such as agriculture, water management, and livestock management expose women to greater climate vulnerabilities and shocks, such as food and nutrition insecurity and livelihood loss. It delves into how limited access to resources and limited opportunities to meaningfully participate in decision-making processes hinder women’s ability to adapt to climate change. It highlights the need for gender-responsive policies that empower women as key actors in risk communication and climate resilience.
