Climate risk perception and climate information use: gendered differences among South African entrepreneurs.
Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment.
Female entrepreneurs in South Africa face heightened challenges arising from climate change compared with men. Recognising and addressing the gendered dimensions of climate vulnerability, including with regard to the provision of climate information, is essential for ensuring equitable and effective climate adaptation decision-making for entrepreneurs across both the formal and informal sectors. This brief presents findings from a survey of 202 female and male entrepreneurs in South Africa (see Figure 1) to assess gendered differences in climate information use and provide recommendations for government policymakers.
