<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i>Description:</i></b> Is gender a consideration for your program, project or research? Now is the time to reflect on this. Women are often portrayed as more vulnerable to the impacts of climate change in Asia and the Pacific, with
less information available about how to respond and adapt. Some adaptation options may put a disproportionate burden on women, particularly in agriculture. This symposium is an opportunity to explore the role, influence and impact of gender on climate change
adaptation, using a combination of presentations, performances, videos, artworks and audience Q&A sessions. Participants will explore indigenous ways of being, knowing and doing with reference to climate adaptation in Asia and the Pacific, examine the roles
of women in adaptation actions and evaluate the role of gender in resilience and adaptation research.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i>Who should attend:</i> </b>The event is highly recommended for anyone working on programs, projects or research in Asia and the Pacific, including policymakers, practitioners, students, researchers, NGOs, the diplomatic community,
consultants and members of Pacific and Asian communities who are at the forefront of adapting to our changing climate.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i>First steps towards a research agenda:</i> </b>Ultimately the symposium aims to take the first steps towards developing a research agenda on gender and climate change in Asia and the Pacific.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The event is supported by ANU Climate Change Institute, ANU Gender Institute and ANU Pacific Institute.<b><o:p></o:p></b></p>
