Climate Change
Gender & urban climate policy inside: Two new books out
Together with Kate Cahoon, I authored chapters on gender and urban climate policy of two books which are now available:
“The Routledge Handbook of Urbanization and Global Environmental Change”
For more information, see Routledge.
“Roots for the Future: The Landscape and Way Forward on Gender and Climate Change”, the new gender and climate change training manual published by IUCN and GGCA.
For more information, see the publication website.
Briefing book on gender & urban climate policy published
It’s finally completed and available in print and for download: My briefing book
The handbook indicates ways for local governments to integrate the gender dimensions of climate change into the various stages of policy-making, with a focus on low- and middle-income countries. It is not meant to be exhaustive, but rather a starting point which introduces gender concepts and gender dimensions of climate change at urban levels, and offers resources, tools and ideas for action to decision-makers, consultants and practitioners. Moreover, it is to assist women’s groups and community based organisations to get involved in local climate policy and to advocate for a gender-responsive approach.
