Preferred term

gender and climate change  

Definition

  • Although gender norms vary historically and geographically, sex categories are used to organize societies, economies, and everyday practices in many ways and at many levels of scale. Any phenomenon with social causes and effects is likely to have dimensions that are best understood by taking gendered ideals, behaviors, and effects into account, and global climate change is no exception.
