India was listed as one of the top 10 countries most adversely effected by climate change in the Global Climate Risk Index 2021. The climate crisis has become a potent challenge for the survival of the Anthropogenic species but also for the entire biosphere. For the human species, it affects humanity in a manner that is not gender neutral. Women are disproportionately impacted by climate crises because of several factors of which primary is their dependency on nature. According to UN report, it is estimated that the world over 80% of people displaced, due to climate crises are women ( https://www.un.org/en/climatechange/science/climate-issues/women ). In India 2.5 million people were displaced in 2022, apart from loss of human life and sources of livelihood, they were displaced from their cultural habitats. Majority of women in rural India, are engaged in informal economy which is climate-sensitive; consequently, this has resulted in the feminisation of agriculture and the labour force. Gender differences in distribution of subsistence resources impacted women differently, depriving women access to education and alternative employments. These impediments have triggered feminisation of poverty. However, it is undeniable that women with their indigenous knowledge and resilience can manage climate crises through various adaptation and mitigation approaches. It is essentially a question of recognising their indigenous knowledge and encouraging it for sustainable climate interventions. In this context, the present chapter is a modest attempt to address issues of impact of climate change on women’s health and livelihood. To do a qualitative mapping of life situation of environmentally displaced women and to do a reality check, if women remain passive beneficiaries or they become active performers in adaptation and mitigation processes. Importantly, to explore if women are part of the decision-making processes to mitigate climate change, beyond cultural barriers. The study is based on the secondary sources including government reports and various UN sources with an attempt to look at the issues involved through a gender lens.
