Vulnerability to climate change depends on demography and social roles . Gender inequities can act as a risk multiplier, with women being more vulnerable than men to climate-change- induced food insecurity and related risks  . Women and men often have differential and unequal control over different productive assets and the benefits they provide, such as income from livestock . Indigenous livestock keepers can be more vulnerable to climate change, partly due to ongoing processes of land fragmentation , historical land dispossession, discrimination and colonialisation, creating greater levels of poverty and marginalisation . Adaptation actions may also be affected by gender and other social inequities . Men and women heads of household may access institutional support for adaptation in different ways . Further research is warranted to evaluate alternative gendered and equity-based approaches that can address differences in adaptive capacity within communities.
