Understanding Climate Risks Through an Intersectional Approach (iCRA)
This action research project investigates how intersecting systems of inequity shape vulnerability to climate change. It involves collaborative case study research with partners in Nepal and South Africa to test how intersectional climate risk assessments (CRAs) can help to advance inclusive and effective adaptation in practice and policies.
