Sudden Onset impacts, empowerment and development Issues Female Male Pre Disaster Differing Vulnerabilities - biological - social - cultural - attitudinal (risk perception) Reproductive health needs Restricted skill base Exclusion from home construction Low level of risk tolerance No special restrictions Mobile skills Exclusion from child care responsibilities High level of risk tolerance Emergency Differing coping mechanisms Suffer higher incidence of depression (crying and suicide ideation); Organizing community sing-a-longs and story telling; Alcoholism, gambling and dysfunctional behaviour; Rescuing villagers and clearing roads; Transition (rehabilitation and Recovery) Weak access to wage earning possibilities; Women prepared one-pot meals for the community; Devoted more time to community and reproductive work. Easier access to wages/income; Men engaged in ‘marooning” teams for house rebuilding; Spend more time in productive work; abandonment of families and responsibilities. Reconstruction Differing priorities Differing access to resources; Differing access to power in the public sphere Priorities for shelter, economic activity, food security, and health care; Women slower to return to Labour Market; Reconstruction programmes that embark on development without the inclusion of gender analysis tools; Women’s lack of involvement in governance mechanisms. Priorities for, agriculture, Infrastructural development and economic activity; Men easy access to the Labour Market; Reconstruction programmes in construction and agricultural development that favour male participation; Gender neutral governance mechanisms that don’t recognize changing gender roles and relationships, and favour male participation.

Notes de l'éditeur
- Some other issues: SP not widely seen as part of Risk Reduction efforts Social requirements for strengthening preparedness, mitigation and prevention are still weak;
- Indications are: the Amazon rain forest could become dryer, with a possibility of spontaneous fire, that coral reefs along Brazilian coastlines could suffer from bleaching (with likely impacts for tourism in the long-run) Changing rainfall patterns, especially in the drought-affected north-eastern region of the country, will mean impact on already limited water and reduce supply even further Agriculture is likely to suffer, not least due to water shortages and leading to greater food insecurity and malnutrition, Less water will impact on renewable energy effort particularly hydropower will suffer; which, according to the International Energy Association, provides more than 80 per cent of the electricity Brazil generates. Floods have implications for public and private infrastructure, disease and and stability. We have already seen the impact of floods in Rio and Sao Paolo earlier this year. Coastal areas would be particularly vulnerable to sea level rise and other impacts Implications for trade – the movement of goods to the coast for export and also the movement from the coast Brazil & climate change: a country profile by Emilio Lèbre La Rovere and André Santos Pereira (14 February 2007), SciDevNet – accessed online June 24th, 2010
- Adaptation – accepts that climatic change will happen and efforts are focused on “no-regrets approaches”. Maladaptation – approaches or interventions that solve one problem and potentially create another
- 1) The richer and developed countries have undoubtedly contributed to the levels and scale of GHG emissions. Not only directly but through the terms of trade. Both travel and global business contribute.
- Adaptation – accepts that climatic change will happen and efforts are focused on “no-regrets approaches”. Maladaptation – approaches or interventions that solve one problem and potentially create another
- Two sides women as victims and women as actors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111
- Even the tension between adaptation and mitigation is a symptom of the tension between the macro and the micro.
- Sudden-Onset and Slow-onset
- A de-link between benefit-sharing and risk-sharing potentially undermines the sustainability of benefits – either due to them being impacted upon or wiped away by other shocks, negated by other realities (i.e. earnings by women that they are unable to spend due to inability to open bank accounts for example) or which are superficial in nature (these are largely communal or group-owned and no real impact/change occurs in assets, livelihood opportunities and development status).
