Abstract Gender equality is an important indicator of a society's development and a necessary element for achieving sustainable growth. As the effects of climate change become more widespread, it is vital to include gender perspectives in climate-related actions. Although the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change has begun to address gender issues, these discussions started later than other key areas and progress remain slow. In India, despite increased awareness, gender equality in climate policy is still not fully integrated into the central policy agenda. In many contexts, women are more vulnerable in rural areas, because they depend highly on local natural resources for their livelihood. In the future, India needs to take more initiatives to establish gender equality. Moreover, gender equality in climate governance is one of the essential concerns. Therefore, this study is being conducted through mixed-method research, and the research design are descriptive and analytical based on secondary data, this paper aims to explore the intricate relationship between gender equality and climate change in the Indian context, focusing on how climate policies can be shaped to promote gender-responsive approaches that empower women.
