Women-Centred Recovery after Climate Disasters & Conflict

© Cities Alliance, 2025

As climate disasters, violent conflicts and wars are growing in scale and frequency, recovery efforts must become more inclusive, just, and effective. Gender-blind and traditional top-down recovery approaches often ignore the specific needs of women and marginalised groups, reinforcing existing inequalities, weakening social cohesion, and reducing community resilience. 

The report calls for a transformative shift: putting women at the centre of recovery efforts. It offers clear, actionable strategies and practical tools to build a recovery model that is more just, effective and sustainable. Authored by Cities Alliance, the report was developed in collaboration with EnabelIHS Rotterdam and Streetnet International
