Global climate change has numerous implications for members of mountaincommunities who feel the impacts in both physical and social dimensions. Inthe western Himalayas of India, a majority of residents maintain a livelihoodstrategy that includes a combination of subsistence or small-scaleagriculture, livestock rearing, seasonal or long-term migration, andlocalized natural resource extraction. While warming temperatures, irregularpatterns of precipitation and snowmelt, and changing biological systemspresent challenges to the viability of these traditional livelihoodportfolios in general, we find that climate change is also undermining localcommunities' livelihood assets in gender-specific ways. In this paper, wepresent a case study from the Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve (Uttarakhand,India) that both outlines the implications of climate change for womenfarmers in the area and highlights the potential for ecotourism (as a formof livelihood diversification) to strengthen both key livelihood assets ofwomen and local communities' adaptive capacity more broadly. The paperintentionally employs a categorical focus on women but also addresses issuesof inter-group and gender diversity. With this special issue in mind,suggestions for related research are proposed for consideration by climatescientists and social systems and/or policy modelers seeking to support genderjustice through socially transformative perspectives and frameworks
