Abstract
The case studies in the literature and the reports prepared by international organizations indicate that the vulnerability level of women to climate change-related hazards and risks is considerably high. In addition, it is mentioned in the literature that women’s participation in both the development and implementation of mitigation and adaptation actions to be taken against climate change will yield more positive outcomes. It is seen when considered the impact chain analyses described in the reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) that there is still a need to propose methods and data sets which involve the transformation of the required parameters to be used for the determination of women’s vulnerability levels to climate change under specific factor groups into data and the determination of the vulnerability levels through concrete indicators by weighting these data. Therefore, the aim of this study is to propose parameters, data, and data sources that can be used in the impact chain analysis of women’s vulnerability in Turkey using the methodology developed to analyse the vulnerability of various sectors and themes to climate change. For this purpose, a methodology combining the PESTEL technique, initially used in the external environmental analysis of private sector companies, with the impact chain analysis conducted within the scope of climate change to determine the parameter classes in the most comprehensive way and a data set is described to contribute to the modelling studies that provide concrete and comparative insights into the women’s vulnerability to climate change.
