Gender and Climate Change

Abstract

Climate change is shaping up to be one of the greatest challenges of the century. Although research has focussed a lot on its generating factors, there has not been much talk about the role of gender in the development and intensity of the phenomenon. While there is significant research on ecofeminism, much less interest has been shown in how certain masculinities influence environmental issues. The chapter has three main sections. The first examines the correlation between gender and climate change while the second provides a glossary of the most important terms used in the first section. Finally, the third provides a wide range of exercises aiming to improve students’ skills in grammar, vocabulary and syntax.
