Gender perspectives in resilience, vulnerability and adaptation to global environmental change

Unai Paskual, Ikerbasque researcher in BC3- Basque Centre for Climate Change, has participated in this special issue, dedicated to all gender and feminist scholars, practitioners and activists who are committed to environmental conservation and management around the world.

This special issue, published in the international magazine Ambio, explains the background setting, key questions and core approaches of gender and feminist research in vulnerability, resilience and adaptation to GEC (global environmental change).

The study contains nine empirical papers from around the world that allow to understand how gendered diversity in knowledge, institutions and everyday practices matters in producing barriers and options for achieving resilience and adaptive capacity in societies. The work has been coordinated by the ICAAM, in Portugal.
