This learning brief introduces climate and disaster risk reduction (DRR) actors to the importance of addressing the connections between GBV and climate change to facilitate more effective and comprehensive climate action in the Asia-Pacific region. It begins with an overview of evidence of how climate change, manifested through both sudden onset disasters (e.g., cyclones, floods) and slow-onset events (e.g. drought) can lead to increased risks of GBV for women and girls, and how, in turn, this creates barriers to climate resilience. The paper then reviews the growing global mandate to integrate attention to GBV climate action. It goes on to explore core or overarching priorities for increasing attention to GBV in climate action and highlights associated gaps in meeting these priorities. It concludes with examples of specific GBV-related activities that can be introduced across key climate action pillars (e.g. adaptation, mitigation, and resilience, as well as in addressing loss and damage). A bibliography is appended for further reading.
