Climate Crisis
Volume 28, Issue 3 | November 2020
The effects of climate change continue to grow ever more severe. As the world attempts to deal with the worsening climate crisis, it is vital that efforts to combat it incorporate a gender perspective, so as not to exacerbate existing gender inequalities.
In this issue of Gender & Development, activists, researchers and development practitioners outline feminist responses to the climate crisis.
