Gender-Sensitive Early Warning Systems for Effective Climate Induced Disaster Management

  In Bangladesh, designing gender-sensitive early warning systems is crucial for effective climate-induced disaster management. By considering the specific needs and capacities of different genders, these systems can help save lives, reduce vulnerabilities, and improve response and recovery efforts.
