This book is about gender analysis of climate change impacts on rural livelihoods. The conceptual framework for the book focuses on four elements of the linkage between gender and climate change in the context of rural livelihoods：gender impact of climate-induced resource shortage like water，and ecosystem；gender impact of climate-induced migration；gender dimension of natural disasters and gender，poverty and climate change. The research is based on case studies in Yunnan to look at gendered vulnerability and adaptation to climate change and to provide evidence and knowledge related to gender and climate change for policy makers. Three relevant analytical frameworks have been applied including Caroline Moser’s gender role analysis framework，the framework for gender-aware vulnerability analysis and gender specific adaptation approach. Gender vulnerability in accessing livelihood related resources such as land，water，credit，agricultural technology，extension and training services have been examined，particular women’s vulnerability. The different adaptation needs and skills between women and men have been discovered with special focus on women. The book has three sections with ten chapters. The first section is setting context including literature review（chapter one），scoping study（chapter two）and gender assessment on vulnerability and adaptation capacity（chapter three）. The second section is about water stress and livelihoods including gendered responses to drought（chapter four），water stress on women’s livelihoods（chapter five），gender impact analysis of climate change and adaptation on agriculture and rural livelihoods（chapter six）and women responses to drought and cropping adaptation（chapter seven）. The third section is about gender，climate change and migration including policy review（chapter eight），gender，migration and adaptation to climate change（chapter nine）and gender perspective on migration and adaptation（chapter ten）. Each chapter has both English title and abstract for non-Chinese readers. Each chapter follows the consistently logical narrative，namely context introduction，research methodology，research findings and policy recommendation.
