Although the interconnected issues of gender, climate change and peacebuilding have been high on the international agenda for the past decades, and the interplay between the issues has been researched in pairs (i.e. gender/peacebuilding, gender/climate change, climate change/peacebuilding), there is little research available on the simultaneous interplay of the three. This chapter examines first some of the theoretical issues and dynamics at play when addressing these issues, followed by an overview of preliminary findings from Honduras. These findings are based on scoping research carried out by and for International Alert, in preparation for a project on the gendered impacts of climate change-induced coffee rust and peacebuilding approaches to help communities cope with these.
