Gender and Population Debates -- Too Much Stuff? Gender and Debates about Consumption -- Too Little Security? Gender and the Securitization of the Environment -- Conclusion: Gendered Sustainability and Justice in Climate Change Debates."Climate change, natural disasters, and loss of biodiversity are all considered major environmental concerns for the international community both now and into the future. Each are damaging to the earth, but they also negatively impact human lives, especially those of women. Despite these important links, to date very little consideration has been given to the role of gender in global environmental politics and policy-making. This timely and insightful book explains why gender matters to the environment. In it, Nicole Detraz examines contemporary debates around population, consumption, and security to show how gender can help us to better understand environmental issues and to develop policies to tackle them effectively and justly. Our society often has different expectations of men and women, and these expectations influence the realm of environmental politics. Drawing on examples of various environmental concerns from countries around the world, Gender and the Environment makes the case that it is only by adopting a more inclusive focus that embraces the complex ways men and women interact with ecosystems that we can move towards enhanced sustainability and greater environmental justice on a global scale. This much-needed book is an invaluable guide for those interested in environmental politics and gender studies, and sets the agenda for future scholarship and advocacy."--Provided by publisher.Women and the environmentEnvironmental policySocial aspectsEnvironmental managementSocial aspectsEnvironmental protectionSocial aspectsGlobal environmental changeSocial aspectsWomen and the environment.Environmental policySocial aspects.Environmental managementSocial aspects.Environmental protectionSocial aspects.Global environmental changeSocial aspects.304.2081Detraz Nicole1135136MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910156235403321Gender and the environment3424368UNINA
