Building resilience for all

Emma Lovell, Overseas Development Institute (ODI)

This presentation highlights the importance of taking an intersectional approach to vulnerability reduction and resilience building. It describes an innovative gender-sensitive methodology which has been tried and tested to understand different intersecting inequalities in the context of natural hazards and climate change, that can be used and replicated by other agencies and organisations. The presentation shares findings from two case studies in two very different countries, in terms of hazard contexts, social systems and recent political histories.
