项目摘要

Small-scale credit is exalted in mainstream development thinking as a key means of supporting women and their families in dealing with daily, ongoing, and often slow-onset climate disasters. Facing growing crises of agricultural productivity from droughts and floods, and taking primary responsibility for the nutritional wellbeing of their households, women are targeted as credit borrowers globally. Credit provisioning therefore speaks to the push for 'resilience' against climate disasters that is central to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13, 'Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts', and which has serious implications for SDG 5 'Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls' that prioritises the valuing and recognition of women's unpaid care and domestic work. How do we ensure, then, that 'climate resilience' does not come at the cost of women's emotional and bodily depletion through processes of household nutrition provisioning? This is the key concern motivating this two-year project which asks:(1) In what ways is credit, as a form of climate resilience, shaping nutritional provisioning?(2) How are the dynamics of nutrition provisioning and credit-taking in a changing climate being experienced and visualised?(3) What are the gender and social reproductive dynamics of the climate-credit-nutrition nexus?(4) What lessons can be learned to deliver improved and more equitable credit provisioning and nutritional outcomes to households and communities affected by slow-onset climate disasters?The project's methodology is anchored in environmental science, visual arts, and social science methods which are combined into a well-integrated research design to effectively probe these complex questions. Set within the political economy contexts of Cambodia and Tamil Nadu, India, fieldwork encompasses the collection of environmental profiles, socio-economic and nutritional indicators, measurements of energy expenditure, and oral and visual analysis; all through a lens that foregrounds gender dynamics. In each country, research will be carried out in 3 rural villages and 2 industrial worksites given that rural households are often maintained by labour migrants engaged in non-rural work. The 20-strong interdisciplinary team of investigators, consultants, and a seconded UN Women staff member, from Cambodia, India, the UK, and continental Europe, will work together with non-governmental and private sector project partners, and an advisory board of (non)academic experts, to deliver this ground-breaking research. The project will also foster the research excellence and development of 7 early career researchers, the majority of whom are women, and/or black, Asian or minority ethnic (BAME). Mentorship includes two early-career residential writing retreats, one in Cambodia and one in India, to support the development of publication writing skills and confidence.The research will be published across 10 journal articles, an accessibly-written project report, and 6 policy briefs (in English, Khmer, and Tamil) which will bring together (non)-academics from 6 stakeholder workshops to amplify the integrated research findings and enhance policy impact. A unique and compelling exhibition of participant and artist photography will also be shown in Phnom Penh, Chennai, and London, to promote the research to a wider audience still. The exhibition will act as a space for the project report launch, galvanise media interest, and will be timed during the stakeholder workshops to maximise impact on political, developmental, and private sector decision-makers. Ultimately, given the status accorded to small-scale credit as a significant lever in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, our research is crucial to informing its thinking on, and operationalisation of, gender-equitable climate resilience.

小额信贷在主流发展思想中被推崇为支持妇女及其家庭应对日常、持续和往往缓慢发生的气候灾害的关键手段。面对干旱和洪水对农业生产力造成的日益严重的危机，并对家庭的营养状况承担主要责任，妇女成为全球信贷借款人的目标。因此，信贷提供说明了对气候灾害的“复原力”的推动，这是可持续发展目标（SDG）13“采取紧急行动应对气候变化及其影响”的核心，并对SDG 5“实现性别平等并赋予所有妇女和女孩权力”具有严重影响，该目标优先重视和承认妇女的无偿护理和家务工作。那么，我们如何确保“气候适应力”不会以家庭营养供应过程中妇女的情感和身体消耗为代价？这是推动这个为期两年的项目的关键问题，该项目提出：（1）信贷作为一种气候适应力的形式，以何种方式塑造营养供应？(2)如何在不断变化的气候中体验和可视化营养供应和信贷的动态？(3)气候-信贷-营养关系的性别和社会生殖动态是什么？(4)可以吸取哪些经验教训，为受缓慢发生的气候灾害影响的家庭和社区提供更好和更公平的信贷和营养成果？该项目的方法论以环境科学，视觉艺术和社会科学方法为基础，这些方法结合成一个良好的综合研究设计，以有效地探索这些复杂的问题。在柬埔寨和印度泰米尔纳德邦的政治经济背景下，实地工作包括收集环境概况、社会经济和营养指标、能源支出计量以及口头和视觉分析;所有这些都通过突出性别动态的透镜进行。在每个国家，将在3个农村村庄和2个工业工地进行研究，因为农村家庭往往由从事非农村工作的移徙劳工维持。来自柬埔寨、印度、英国和欧洲大陆的20多名跨学科研究人员、顾问和一名借调的联合国妇女署工作人员将与非政府和私营部门项目合作伙伴以及一个由（非）学术专家组成的咨询委员会合作，开展这项开创性的研究。该项目还将促进7名早期职业研究人员的卓越研究和发展，其中大多数是女性和/或黑人，亚洲人或少数民族（BAME）。导师计划包括两个早期职业生涯的住宅写作务虚会，一个在柬埔寨，一个在印度，以支持出版物写作技能和信心的发展。研究将发表在10篇期刊文章，一个易于编写的项目报告和6个政策简报（英文、高棉文、和泰米尔语），将汇集来自6个利益相关者研讨会的（非）学者，以扩大综合研究成果，提高政策影响。一个独特的和引人注目的展览参与者和艺术家的摄影也将显示在金边，金奈和伦敦，以促进研究更广泛的观众仍然。该展览将作为项目报告发布的空间，激发媒体的兴趣，并将在利益相关者研讨会期间举行，以最大限度地提高对政治，发展和私营部门决策者的影响。最后，鉴于小额信贷作为实施2030年可持续发展议程的重要杠杆的地位，我们的研究对于为性别公平的气候适应力提供信息至关重要。
