Gender and Climate

Thu, September 5, 8:00 to 9:30am, Marriott Philadelphia Downtown, Salon I

Session Submission Type: Full Paper Panel

Session Description

Gender is a crucial but underexplored feature that shapes the dynamics of climate politics. How does gender explain support for, and backlash against, and the politicization of climate policies? How do local contexts interact with the salience of gender in shaping climate discourses? The papers on this panel explore many of the ways in which the dyanmics of gender and climate politics intersect in public opinion, discourse, and policymaking, taking into account the importance of variation in local contexts, both in terms of geo-physical and socio-economic dimensions on issues ranging from decarbonization to climate justice.
