Abstract
Climate change is impacting communities worldwide, but its effects are often felt most acutely by marginalized groups, including tribal women in India. This paper explores the multifaceted challenges faced by tribal women due to climate change, focusing on how their lives, livelihoods, and well-being are affected. At the same time, this paper provides a snapshot of climate change in India, including its causes, effects, and the countryââ¬â¢s response to this pressing issue. It also illustrates the implications of climate change on tribal women in India, exploring their unique vulnerabilities and the urgent need for focused action. Through the analysis of secondary data, this study sheds light on the specific vulnerabilities of tribal women, such as increased water scarcity, loss of traditional knowledge, and heightened health risks. It also highlights the resilience and adaptive strategies employed by these women to cope with and mitigate the impacts of climate change. By bringing attention to this overlooked demographic, this paper aims to inform policy and advocacy efforts to better support tribal women in the face of climate change.
