Abstract
Gendered processes and conditions in societies are crucial in shaping vulnerabilities and mediating climate impacts and response such as migration. However, the gendered dimensions of climate change and migration have received little (albeit growing) attention. This chapter presents a comparative analysis of gender and climate mobility between two spatially and culturally differentiated agro-ecological zones: the Savannah and the Forest zones in Ghana. It highlights how different sociocultural context might shape gendered mobility in relation to climate change, manifested in both new and reinvigorated forms of migration, reflecting both longstanding and transforming gendered norms.
