A Bottom-Up Approach to Gender-Responsive Climate Adaptation and Peacebuilding in Yemen’s Agricultural Communities

This paper examines the growing crisis in Yemen’s agricultural sector, focusing on how armed conflict and climate change are reducing agricultural production, threatening food security, and affecting livelihoods.

Based on field research with 85 participants across four governorates, it explores how these pressures are changing traditional roles for men and women and affecting their ability to cope and recover.

The paper highlights local initiatives that address both climate adaptation and resource-related conflict, while pointing to the lack of government support and national strategies. It considers three policy options and recommends supporting existing local initiatives as the most practical and cost-effective approach for Yemen.
