Argues that the ability of women to adapt to climate change pressures could<br />
be improved if they had the capacity to direct development efforts. By using<br />
this approach, women will improve their living conditions <strong>and</strong> will be more<br />
prepared as agents for change in their communities. This argument is based<br />
on previous research on gender <strong>and</strong> living conditions, <strong>and</strong> on a study carried<br />
out in rural zones in India.<br />

This survey, circulated among government agencies, UN agencies, research<br />
institutes, universities, NGOs <strong>and</strong> the private sector, points out the need to<br />
establish national adaptation policies to reduce risks to the population. It also<br />
says that national development planning should contemplate climate change<br />
adaptation criteria. The capacity to develop national adaptation policies is<br />
considered to be a major challenge, more so than locating the funds needs<br />
for the purpose. The results of this survey will guide the contents of the<br />
Adaptation Learning Mechanism – ALM – a project to promote the exchange<br />
of adaptation experiences by using an open awareness platform.<br />
