Dispelling the myth that people in the Global North share similar
experiences of climate change, this book reveals how intersecting
social dimensions of climate change-people, processes, and
institutions-give rise to different experiences of loss,
adaptation, and resilience among those living in rural and resource
contexts of the Global North. Bringing together leading feminist
researchers and practitioners from three countries-Australia,
Canada, and Spain-this collection documents gender relations in
fossil fuel, mining, and extractive industries, in land-based
livelihoods, in approaches for inclusive environmental policy, and
in the lived experience of climate hazards. Uniquely, the book
brings together the voices, expertise, and experiences of both
academic researchers and women whose views have not been
prioritized in formal policies-for example, women in agriculture,
Indigenous women, immigrant women, and women in male-dominated
professions. Their contributions are insightful and compelling,
highlighting the significance of gaining diverse perspectives for a
fuller understanding of climate change impacts, more equitable
processes and strategies for climate change adaptation, and a more
welcoming climate future. This book will be vital reading for
students and scholars of gender studies, environmental studies,
environmental sociology, geography, and sustainability science. It
will provide important insights for planners, decision makers, and
community advocates to strengthen their understanding of social
dimensions of climate change and to develop more inclusive and
equitable adaptation policies, plans, and practices.
