Leading the Way: Women Navigating Climate Change, Mobility, and Resilience in Africa.

April 9, 2025

This working paper, by UNDP and Samuel Hall, explores how women across Africa are navigating the complex intersection of gender, climate change, and mobility—particularly within pastoralist, rural, and displacement-affected communities. Drawing on case studies from Somalia, Kenya, and Nigeria, the paper presents qualitative findings to advocate for gender-transformative approaches to climate adaptation.
