Gender and Climate Change An Introduction

'This book gives a profound and informative introduction and presents a wide range of case studies that will inform and inspire scholars, policymakers, advisors and students about the relevance of the interlinkages between gender and climate change. Moreover, it guides us towards appropriate policies and calls us to action.' -Dr. Nafis Sadik, Former Head of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), UN Special Envoy for HIV/AIDS Asia and Pacific

'The book Gender and Climate Change: An Introduction brings together a wide range of perspectives, insights and experiences from women and men from all around the world on the nexus between gender and climate change...IUCN's active involvement in gender mainstreaming and capacity building in environment and climate change will certainly benefit from this rich publication.' -Julia Marton-Lefevre, Director-General , International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)

'The theoretical chapters combined with the case studies from various countries make a convincing argument for the intersectionality of gender and poverty in terms of the effects of environmental challenges, but maybe more importantly, for understanding the role of women in mitigating these effects and in policy formation... Recommended.' -CHOICE
