Are either of these technologies sufficiently attendant to gender issues? Do they incorporate feminist values as articulated by the renowned social philosopher Helen Longino, such as empirical adequacy, novelty, heterogeneity, complexity and applicability to human needs? The overarching argument in this book contends that, while mitigation strategies like solar and wind energy go much further to meet feminist objectives and virtues, geoengineering is not consistent with the values of justice as articulated in Longino's feminist approach to science. This book provides a novel, feminist argument in support of pursuing alternative energy in the place of geoengineering. It provides an invaluable contribution for academics and students working in the areas of gender, science and climate change as well as policy makers interested in innovative ways of taking up climate change mitigation and gender.SpringerBriefs in Sociology,2212-6368Environmental sociologyClimatic changesFeminist theoryEnvironmental sciencesEnvironmental law, InternationalEnvironmental lawEnvironmental policyEnvironmental Sociologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22160Climate Changehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U12007Feminismhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E44030Environmental Science and Engineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G37000International Environmental Lawhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R19070Environmental Law/Policy/Ecojusticehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U16002Environmental sociology.Climatic changes.Feminist theory.Environmental sciences.Environmental law, International.Environmental law.Environmental policy.Environmental Sociology.Climate Change.Feminism.Environmental Science and Engineering.International Environmental Law.Environmental Law/Policy/Ecojustice.551.6Sikka Tina1979-authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1429662BOOK9910337743303321Climate Technology, Gender, and Justice3568845UNINA
