Climate change poses significant challenges to the livestock sector in India, particularly impacting smallholder farmers and women, who play a vital yet under-recognized role in livestock production. Increasing temperature extremes, erratic rainfall, droughts, floods, and emerging livestock diseases have intensified the vulnerability of rural livelihoods. Climate change disproportionately affects women in livestock-based livelihoods due to limited access to resources, decision-making, and adaptive technologies. Within this context, it is critical to adopt gender-inclusive climate resilience practices that empower women while ensuring sustainable livestock development.
