We outline climate change predictions, and explore the effects of long-term climate change on agriculture, ecological systems, and gender relations. We identify predicted changes in natural hazard frequency and intensity as a result of climate change, and explore the gendered effects of natural hazards. We highlight the urgent need to integrate gender analyses into public policy making, and in adaptation responses to climate change.
