The climate finance architecture addresses mitigation, adaptation and loss and damage for climate-resilient development. However, it fails to advance the debt-related injustices in climate financing that inflict economic and non-economic violence on women from the Low and Middle Income Countries (LMICs) and marginalized communities in the 'Global North'. Gender-based violence is but one dimension of climate injustices that becomes a risk multiplier to the lives of women, girls and gender minorities across race, caste, abilities and ethnicities. This article establishes the climate-resilient gender-responsive solutions to internalize Gender-Based Violence Prevention in the feminist economy of climate finance. Resultantly, the care economy under climate crises transforms family structures and relations beyond neoclassical comprehension of micro and macroeconomics. The article takes a multi-sectoral approach to gender-responsive finance for climate crises. The paper draws on grey literature from civil society organizations and think tanks addressing the majority of perspectives and academic articles across principles of feminist economics, climate financing and gender-based violence.
Keywords: gender justice, Climate justice, Gender based violence, prevention, feminist economics, Forecast-based financing
