Gender and the management of climate-related risks in Northern Thailand

In this study the authors find that that women fish farmers as well as women and men crop farmers perceived greater climate-related risks to profits, and this corresponded with attaching greater importance to risk management practices at the farm and community levels, thus showing that gender can influence risk-taking and decision-making and therefore should be taken into account when strengthening climate risk management practices or designing adaptation interventions.
