520			_aThe impact of climate change and augmented disasters are gendered and Indian women due to the incessant economic and social inequalities and the limited access to participation in decision-making are more vulnerable than men. This paper focuses on the human and social dimensions of climate change, especially the impact of climate change and the consequences of disasters, increasing in their magnitude, on the women in India. It argues for an environmental justice and human rights approach to gender mainstreaming in climate –disaster management through legal mechanisms and litigation strategies. This paper argues that in the climate- disaster discourse, gender issues are generalized and fails to account for the local community views and perspectives. A globally homogenized approach could mask the internal differences that exist between communities and regions, with regard to gender issues and negatively impact the gender inclusive strategies. This paper argues for the adaptation and development process to be not only inclusive but also locally determined. – Reproduced
