To date, empirical evidence on such transformational change is sparse, although there is some evidence of incremental change . Even when national policies attempt to be more gendered, there is criticism that they use gender-neutral language or include gender analysis without proposing how to alter differential vulnerability . More importantly, the mere inclusion of women and men in planning does not necessarily translate to substantial gender-transformative action, for example in National Adaptation Programmes of Action across sub-Saharan Africa  and national and sub-national climate action plans in India . Importantly, there is often an overemphasis on the gender binary , which masks complex ways in which marginalisation and oppression can be augmented due to the interaction of gender with other social factors and intra-household dynamics .
