The consequences of climatic changes in mountain environments largely reshape human-environment interactions, differently impacting women. Recognising these disparities, gendered approaches to climate change have emerged as a perspective for promoting community-led sustainable development. This paper aims to provide an alternative to the prevailing dominant narrative of women as victims of climate change, but instead as solution-oriented change makers. It discusses the transformative nature of women-led initiatives that are driving regenerative farming. It focuses on the Garhwal Himalayas, specifically on Marrora Forest Farms. Thus, it promotes sustainable livelihoods, forest management, and combating climate change. It employs a qualitative approach, incorporating ethnographic fieldwork, in-depth interviews, and participant observations. A blended theoretical framework of Feminist Political Ecology and Community-Based Natural Resource Management provides a lens to understand gendered relations, socio-ecological change, and collective resource management. This paper illustrates the role of traditional ecological awareness and sustainable livelihoods. The findings contribute to broader discussions on the gender–climate nexus and nature-based solutions in mountains
