Women, Climate, Insecurity

Women & International Justice | HRI & HKC

This series highlights feminist approaches to understanding the impact of climate change on women as well as the role of women in addressing those impacts in their communities. Contributors aim to bring intersectional feminist analyses of and responses to growing climate-driven insecurities and their effects on women and other marginalized populations.

The articles in this series look historically at the inclusion of gender in international climate accords; address topics ranging from intergenerational rights to the right to reproductive health to extractivism’s threat to a just, sustainable peace; and examine closely the effects and responses to climate change’s impact on women in specific local contexts.
