Understanding Climate Change through Gender Relations

"Understanding Climate Change Through Gender Relationsprovides 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 Relationsthoroughly 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
