This study, conducted in 2024, examined gender-based differences in climate change awareness in Myanmar's Ayeyarwady Delta, focusing on the influence of socioeconomic factors and local ecological knowledge. The primary objective was to assess how gender shapes awareness of climate change issues in the region. A quantitative survey was conducted with 200 respondents from Climate-Smart and Non-Climate-Smart Villages, using a rigorously validated awareness scale. Findings indicated that, while both genders showed a foundational understanding of climate impacts on agriculture, women, particularly older individuals engaged in agriculture, demonstrated significantly higher levels of awareness, shaped by economic dependency and ecological knowledge. These results underscore the importance of gender-specific factors in climate awareness, highlighting the need for policies that integrate women’s ecological knowledge to enhance adaptation strategies and resilience in Myanmar's vulnerable communities.
