Climate change is often framed as a problem that needs mainly technical and
economic solutions. Climate Change and Gender Justice considers how gender
issues are entwined with people’s vulnerability to the effects of climate
change, and how gender identities and roles may affect women’s and men’s
perceptions of the changes.

 

The vivid case studies in this book show how women and men in developing
countries are experiencing climate change and describe their efforts to
adapt their ways of making a living to ensure survival, often against
extraordinary odds. Contributors also examine how gender-equality concerns
should be integrated into international negotiations and agreements on
climate change mitigation and adaptation to ensure that new policies do not
disadvantage poor women, but rather deliver them some benefits. 

 

‘No climate justice without gender justice’; the rallying call by lobbyists
at the 2007 UN Climate Change Conference in Bali continues to resonate as
international negotiations on how to tackle and adapt to climate change
become more urgent.

 

Geraldine Terry is based at the School of Development Studies at the
University of East Anglia and is affiliated to the Tyndall Centre for
Research on Climate Change and the Makerere Institute of Social Research,
Kampala. She is the editor of Gender-based Violence (Oxfam GB), also in the
Working in Gender and Development series, and the author of Women’s Rights
(Pluto Press). Caroline Sweetman is the Editor of the international journal
Gender & Development.
