Abstract
Abstract: Climate Change is receiving deserved attention after a scientific and political denial of long held view that climate change is a farce and not real. The shift in acceptance have happened specially after recently concluded COP21 Paris draft. While historical polluter debate has got its well placed meaning in Paris draft, shifting the burden to cut emissions more on developed economies, what still is missing is gender. Mary Robinson a UN special envoy for climate change accurately pointed that Paris climate summit’s gender imbalance with heavy male dominance is detrimental to taking action on saving people from global warming. Analysing the women participation data, it has come on froth that woman are minimally present in any breakthrough discussion or deal. Their concerns are largely omitted in major environmental deals by governments at national and sub national level, international organisation. As a result, climate adaptation and mitigation efforts designed at these levels are targeted with a view that climate change is gender neutral, when it is not. In this paper, I am providing insight through Indian experience by introspecting role of women in India’s National Action Plan for Climate Change.
