While it is easy to fault vulnerable communities for not adapting to climate change,
government and donor programs, combined with market incentives that encourage
risky livelihood strategies, provide perverse incentives to vulnerable communities
not to adapt, further disadvantaging women. Enhancing and building on women's
capitals in the context of their communities is an effective approach to help them
adapt to climate change. It can result in increasing soil quality and enhanced agricul-
tural intensification for food security.
