Her4Climate is a participatory assessment tool developed by Cities Alliance in collaboration with Arup to mainstream gender considerations in climate adaptation. Designed primarily for international development practitioners, in-country facilitators, government representatives and urban professionals, this tool is centred on the knowledge and capacities of women in urban areas, providing a framework for understanding women’s exposure and their capacity to respond to climate change in urban areas, including the identification of key climate impacts that require action, and the level of climate adaptability in the future.
The tool also aims at promoting women’s participation, leadership, and empowerment in the design and management of climate adaptation initiatives (i.e., strategies, policies, action plans, and interventions).
