摘要不解决长期存在的性别差距的农业发展努力错失了产生更大影响的机会。这份综合报告反映了在性别、农业发展和气候变化的关系方面进行的综合定量和定性分析的主要结果。相互关联的农场家庭、家庭内部、社区和机构一级的数据突出了在个人和社区应对气候变化的适应能力方面存在的重大和细微的性别差异。在暴露于气候变化及其影响以及采用降低脆弱性的新做法方面，性别差距也很大。除非在政策和项目设计阶段考虑到妇女的不同需要、获取和控制资源，否则从事农业的妇女在很大程度上仍将被信息和服务提供者忽视。然而，仍然缺乏满足不同环境和农业系统中男女需求的明确指导方针。以共同学习为重点的参与式“行动研究”方法，以及使用创新的手机或基于社交媒体的方法提供了令人兴奋的新机会。农业发展决策者和项目设计者需要“在设计时考虑到性别”。向他们提供创新的性别变革做法和干预选择的工具和知识，并建立为妇女和男子服务的问责制将是关键。
ABSTRACT Agricultural development efforts that do not address persistent gender gaps miss opportunities for greater impact. This synthesis reflects on key findings from integrated quantitative and qualitative analyses at the nexus of gender, agricultural development, and climate change. Linked farm household-, intrahousehold-, community-, and institutional-level data highlight significant and nuanced gender differences in adaptive capacity of individuals and communities to respond to climate change. The gender gap is also substantial in exposure to climate change and its impacts, and uptake of new practices that lower vulnerability. Women in agriculture will remain largely neglected by information and service providers unless their differing needs, access to, and control over resources are considered at policy and project design stage. Yet clear guidelines for addressing the needs of both men and women in different environments and agricultural systems are still lacking. Participatory ‘action research’ approaches with a focus on co-learning, and using innovative cell phone or social media-based approaches offer exciting new opportunities. Agricultural development decision-makers and project designers need to ‘design with gender in mind’. Equipping them with tools and knowledge of innovative gender-transformative practices and intervention options and creating accountability for serving women and men will be key.
