Madagascar ranks 5th worldwide and 1st in Africa among the countries most exposed to climate change risks. Since 1980, natural hazards such as floods and cyclones have caused over USD 1 billion of economic damage, with the agricultural sector among the hardest hit. Agriculture employs more than 70% of Madagascar’s population, the majority of whom are women. Climate shocks have deepened poverty, food insecurity, and social inequality, especially among women and young people in rural areas. A team of Malagasy researchers, co-led by Mamy Rajaonarisoa and Anja Radoharinirina, will analyse the factors that shape women’s and youth vulnerability to climate change across Madagascar, with a focus on agricultural and rural communities. The aim of the study is to build a solid evidence base to inform inclusive policy dialogue and ensure national representation across regions. The research will engage women’s organisations, youth climate activists, and rural development stakeholders to identify intersectional drivers of vulnerability and promote strategies that strengthen resilience and equity in the face of climate change.
