Understanding Climate Change through Gender Relations (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Buckingham, Susan; Le Masson, Virginie

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Attempts to understand the production and impacts of climate change and proposals for mitigation and adaptation through gender analyses are thin on the ground. This book explains how gender, as a power relationship, influences climate change related strategies and considers the additional pressure that climate change puts on uneven gender relations and 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. It will be of interest to students, scholars and policy makers working in climate change, politics and gender studies.
