Abstract: Purpose:Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) seeks to support countries with technical and financial conditions. However, institutional and policy considerations are crucial for the effective implementation of climate-smart intervention that is meant to provide sustainable benefits to both men and women. This chapter looks at the issues that range while enforcing an integrated framework that can ensure cohesiveness and integration across the intricate gender-climate-agriculture nexus. Methodology:The study was conducted by analysing various literature, government policies of multiple countries, UN reports, and case studies. Findings:According to existing literature, India needs to adopt CSA that includes a gender lens. The migration of men from rural areas and a rise in the number of small and marginal holdings operated by female farmers disproportionately impact women from the adverse effects of climate change. Significance:Women-led and gender-responsive CSA policies could promote local economies and increase the adaptability and resilience of Indian agriculture.
