Understanding Climate Change through Gender Relations

«

" Understanding Climate Change Through Gender Relations provides enlightening and accessible perspectives about the necessity of addressing gender relations within the context of climate change. Not explicitly a work of ecofeminism, the content and arguments will be of no surprise to those familiar with ecofeminism, as both the theoretical essays and case studies are broadly informed by ecofeminist principles of care, equity, intersectionality, and justice for both the planet and humanity equally. Understanding Climate Change Through Gender Relations thoroughly indicates the necessity of engagement with feminist environmental thought both theoretically and pragmatically if we are to save humanity and the planet." - Sarah O'Brien, Drew Theological School, Madison, USA

"The intersectional and post-colonial-feminist anthology Understanding Climate Change through Gender Relations represents a refreshing and militant commitment to the realization of the humane side of climate change. Overall, the anthology provides a compelling variety of theoretical and empirical contributions and is enlightening beyond the boundaries of climate change research. The gender perspective and an intersectional, post-colonial-feminist claim are confidently maintained in all texts and in this way illuminate the humane dimension of changes in the climate in terms of dominance and power." - Sahra Dornick, Research Associate at the Center for Interdisciplinary Women and Gender Studies (ZIFG), Berlin

This book explains how gender, as a power relationship, influences climate change related strategies, and explores the additional pressures that climate change brings to uneven gender relations. It considers the ways in which men and women experience the impacts of these in different economic contexts. The chapters dismantle gender inequality and injustice through a critical appraisal of vulnerability and relative privilege within genders. Part I addresses conceptual frameworks and international themes concerning climate change and gender, and explores emerging ideas concerning the reification of gender relations in climate change policy. Part II offers a wide range of case studies from the Global North and the Global South to illustrate and explain the limitations to gender-blind climate change strategies.


This book will be of interest to students, scholars, practitioners and policymakers interested in climate change, environmental science, geography, politics and gender studies.
