Gender Equality and Climate Transition

Gender Equality and Climate Transition

Climate change and environmental degradation are among the main existential threats to the world. The links between gender and the environment have been extensively documented, showing different consumption patterns and carbon emissions between women and men, the gendered impact of pollution and carbon pollution, the female face of energy poverty, and the risk of a widening gender gap in the green job market and power in decision making, for example. We should look for the impact of the green transition towards a low carbon society from a gender, inclusive, and intersectional perspective.
