Abstract

In this collected volume, global discourses, policies, and practices on climate change are critically examined from an intersectional and postcolonial-feminist perspective on how they consider gender relations as power and power relations, as well as gender attributions, risks, and vulnerabilities as relevant determinants of social reality. The contributions not only provide a profound overview of current debates on gender-sensitive climate change research, but also shed light on the (untapped) potential of the gender perspective in developing societal solutions for reducing emissions and adapting to global warming from various disciplinary and theoretical perspectives.
