Abstract
Attention to gender and equity has lagged behind
in climate change research, programming, national
policy-making and in the international negotiations.
Studies on climate change and gender links with
climate change have initially and by necessity been
somewhat speculative in nature. While all societies
are affected by climate change, the impacts also vary
by location, exposure, and context specific social
characteristics, identity, power relations and political
economy. This draws attention to recognition of difference and sameness and the way in which common,
confusing, contradictory results emerge across and
within terrains. In its concern for gender-blindness,
this paper specifically considers the way in which
climate variability impacts on men and women in a
given locale and captures the enriched narratives and
voices of both rural women and men in two selected
villages in Lambani, Limpopo Province, South Africa.
