The learning brief focuses on the links between GBV and climate change. Until relatively recently (and still to an extent), climate change action, including efforts to reduce and adapt to climate change, was under the purview of development programming rather than humanitarian response. However, given the growing investment in a nexus approach across the UN system, [2] as well as the recognition of the significant impact climate change will have in accelerating the frequency and/or severity of natural disasters, co-existing climatic disas-ters and humanitarian conflict situations, and increased insecurity contributing to conflict, the delineation between ‘humanitarian’ and ‘development’ settings are progressively less relevant. As such, addressing climate change is increasingly seen as an important investment in both development settings as well as settings vulnerable to humanitarian crises. The Paris Agreement recognizes climate change [3] to be the “common concern of mankind” (United Nations, 2015). This learning brief is part of a series of knowledge products produced by the Gender-Based Violence Area of Responsibility (GBV AoR) Helpdesk.1 UNFPA colleagues have partnered in the development and finalization of the content. To supplement the desk review that informs this learning brief, the Helpdesk also undertook interviews with ten colleagues working in humanitarian settings around the world with expertise in climate change and/or addressing GBV in climate-affected settings.
