Abstract

Women living in poverty across South Africa need support to adapt to climate change and to take an active part in the transition to a low carbon economy. This briefing sets out the context of climate finance in South Africa and provides recommendations to policy makers in South Africa for helping women to access and to benefit from climate finance.
