  abstract = {{C}limate change poses severe threats to coastal social-ecological systems ({SES}) worldwide. {R}ecent calls recognize the importance of including {I}ndigenous and local knowledge ({ILK}) in research on climate change impacts. {Y}et studies that have attempted to weave {ILK} and scientific knowledge have seldom considered the gendered nature of climate change impacts. {B}uilding on the literature on gender and climate change and knowledge pluralism, this study contributes to addressing this research gap by exploring local knowledge on climate change impacts and its relation to scientific knowledge through a gendered approach and focusing on the {W}estern {I}ndian {O}cean region, and more specifically on {K}enya. {W}e adopted a mixed methodology combining qualitative and quantitative approaches. {W}e found evidence of pronounced climate change impacts on coastal {SES} both in the scientific literature and in local reports. {O}ur findings highlight that there is an extensive overlap between information derived from scientific and local knowledge systems. {I}mportantly, our study revealed reports of change that were only provided by {SSF} communities, namely changes in coastal dynamics, a decrease in rainfall, and a decrease in the abundance of green algae. {A}lthough we found gendered variations in changes reported by {SSF} communities, gendered differences of climate change impacts on {SSF} were not detected in the reviewed literature. {O}verall, our results suggest that knowledge cross-fertilization generates a holistic, relational, and place-based view of climate change impacts, which may support sound and gender-inclusive adaptive policies. {W}e conclude by suggesting key policy recommendations for climate adaptation and risk management},
