A gender perspective of climate change perceptions and the intention to migrate in Copán

In this intervention, we present preliminary results from field work conducted in six municipalities of Honduras as part of a research project that explores climate change perceptions and the intention to migrate, with a gender perspective. The main goal of the research is to understand to which extent the ways in which people perceive the effects of climate change upon their daily life may urge some more than others to actively start the process of international migration. The project is a mixed method study combining questionnaires and focus groups. In this briefing, we concentrate on the analysis of the focus groups to explain the descriptive results of some of the variables.
