Jharkhand State Livelihood Promotion Society (JSLPS), Department of Rural Development, Government of Jharkhand in partnership with Asar and Child in Need Institute (CINI) have created training modules on the interlinkages of Gender and Climate Change in India. The modules were launched on August 25 in Ranchi and are being rolled out with JSLPS Self Help Groups across Jharkhand. These structured and interactive modules are designed to:
- Build awareness among women Self Help Groups (SHGs) on the gendered impacts of climate change.
- Strengthen women’s leadership in shaping equitable, context-specific climate solutions and facilitating the creation of locally led climate action plans.
- Support marginalised communities with the knowledge, skills, and systems to adapt and build resilience to climate change.
The modules mark an important step in strengthening gender and climate linkages while building climate resilience for the state.
