Gender and the Social Dimensions of Climate Change 1st Edition

Gender and the Social Dimensions of Climate Change (1st Edition) by Amber J. Fletcher and Maureen G. Reed

Discover a timely, authoritative exploration of how gender shapes and is shaped by climate change. This compelling volume blends rigorous scholarship with accessible writing to illuminate the social forces that influence vulnerability, adaptation, and resilience. Ideal for students, planners, activists, and policymakers, it offers a clear framework for understanding inequalities that shape climate outcomes.

The book moves beyond natural-science narratives to center lived experience—showing how gender intersects with age, class, ethnicity, and place to produce distinct risks and opportunities. Readers will find thoughtful analysis of decision-making, livelihoods, migration, and health, plus practical insights for designing inclusive adaptation and mitigation strategies. Rich in contemporary theory and policy relevance, the text connects local realities to global debates about climate justice and sustainable development.

Why this book matters: practitioners and researchers will gain tools to assess social vulnerability, craft gender-responsive interventions, and promote community resilience. Educators will appreciate classroom-ready clarity and relevance across disciplines—geography, environmental studies, public policy, and gender studies. Global in scope yet grounded in community perspectives, the work speaks to challenges facing urban neighborhoods, coastal and small-island communities, Indigenous territories, and rural landscapes across the Global South and North.
