For pathways to be truly sustainable and advance gender equality
and the rights and capabilities of women and girls, those whose
lives and well-being are at stake must be involved in leading the
way. Gender Equality and Sustainable Development calls for
policies, investments and initiatives in sustainable development
that recognize women's knowledge, agency and decision-making as
fundamental. Four key sets of issues - work and industrial
production; population and reproduction; food and agriculture, and
water, sanitation and energy provide focal lenses through which
these challenges are considered. Perspectives from new feminist
political ecology and economy are integrated, alongside issues of
rights, relations and power. The book untangles the complex
interactions between different dimensions of gender relations and
of sustainability, and explores how policy and activism can build
synergies between them. Finally, this book demonstrates how plural
pathways are possible; underpinned by different narratives about
gender and sustainability, and how the choices between these are
ultimately political. This timely book will be of great interest to
students, scholars, practitioners and policy makers working on
gender, sustainable development, development studies and ecological
economics.
