 practitioners with years of experience on the ground working on gender and climate change issues. This was done through the INGO Climate Change Working Group (part of the VUFO-NGO Resource Centre) in Ho Chi Minh last year and then in Hanoi earlier this year.
 Ready-to-use tools and resources from various organizations are also included to ensure that practitioners on the ground can start to take simple steps to integrating gender and climate change.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
