Abstract
This reflection notes the chapter’s points around intrahousehold decision-making patterns regarding their climate adaptation strategies and the gender roles that influence these processes. It also gives examples of the way in which the qualitative methodological framework and key socio-cultural and gender considerations presented in the chapter can support policy making in the energy sector.
