The Climate Crisis: Gendered Impacts, Women’s Agency, and Feminist Analyses Bibliography with Abstracts 202 0 The Consortium on Gender, Security and Human Rights created this bibliography to provide a guide to the landscape of research-based knowledge on the gendered impacts of climate breakdown, women’s agency in coping with it, and feminist approaches to addressing the climate crisis. Our goal is to provide the policy, activist and scholarly communities with improved access to the findings of academic research, as well as to a curated selection of the extensive and valuable resources produced by policy agencies and international organizations. © 2020 Consortium on Gender, Security and Human Rights The Consortium on Gender, Security and Human Rights Bibliographic Resources Series http://genderandsecurity.org/projects-resources/bibliographic-resources Art and Artists’ Responses to Gender, Armed Conflict and Human Rights Climate and Ecological Crises: The Climate Crisis: Gendered Impacts, Women’s Agency, and Feminist Analyses Feminist Engagements with Green New Deals Food Security, Gender and the Climate Crisis Masculinities, the Environment, and Technological “Solutions” to the Climate Crisis Migration, Gender and the Climate Crisis Disarmament, Demobilization, and Reintegration (DDR) and Gender in Colombia / Desarme, desmovilización y reintegración (DDR) y Género en Colombia Selected English and Spanish Language Sources Ecofeminism Environmental Disasters: Gendered Impacts and Responses Extractive Industries: Gender Analyses Feminist Critiques of the Sustainable Development Goals Feminist Foreign Policy Feminist Political Ecology and Feminist Ecological Economics Gender and Security in Afghanistan, India and Pakistan Gender Responsive Budgeting and Gendered Public Finance Infrastructure: Energy Infrastructure: Gendered Analyses Roads, Transportation, Mobility and Gender Water Infrastructure, Gender and Development Land: Land Grabbing, Large-Scale Land Acquisition and Gender Land Rights and Gender Land Tenure and Gender Los derechos a la tierra, el despojo y el género Land Rights, Land Grabbing & Gender: Spanish Language Sources Os direitos à terra e o gênero Land Rights and Gender: Portuguese Language Sources LGBTQ+ People in Militaries, Wars and Post-War Settings Masculinities and Armed Conflict Masculinities and Peacekeeping Masculinity and Gendered Concepts of Honor, Shame, Humiliation and Vulnerability (focusing on the Middle East) Private Military and Security Companies: Gendered Perspectives Sexual Violence and Armed Conflict Taxation, Tax Justice and Gender Equality Please check the website for new bibliographic resources posted since this one was published. This bibliography is meant to serve as an introduction to the academic literature on several key aspects of the relationship between gender and the climate crisis. It is the first of a series of more highly specialized Consortium bibliographies related to climate and environment issues. Others in the series include: “Feminist Engagements with Green New Deals,” “Food Security, Gender and the Climate Crisis,” “Masculinities, the Environment, and Technological ‘Solutions’ to the Climate Crisis,” “Migration, Gender and the Climate Crisis,” “Ecofeminism,” “Environmental Disasters: Gendered Impacts and Responses,” and “Feminist Political Ecology and Feminist Ecological Economics.” The academic resources in this bibliography are divided into four main themes: the gendered impacts of the climate crisis; women’s agency in the face of the climate crisis (including their adaptive capacity and their roles in decision-making processes); the representation of women and the incorporation of gender concerns into research, policymaking and the delivery of climate services; and explicitly feminist analyses of the drivers of the climate crisis and visions for a more sustainable path forwards. Additionally, the bibliography includes a short final section of selected literature published by NGOs, think tanks and policy institutions. Research on the gendered dimensions of the climate crisis commonly seeks to understand the ways in which gendered power relations both shape individuals’ experience of and ability to adapt to the climate crisis, and also reinforce the structures that drive environmental degradation and climate breakdown. This includes analyses of how patriarchal, neoliberal and colonial structures determine access to and control over resources, marginalize the knowledge and agency of certain groups, and exacerbate or perpetuate existing inequalities. But it also includes analysis of the ways the climate crisis creates new openings to disrupt existing hierarchies and reimagine the relationship between humans and the environment. Consortium interns Jackie Faselt, Ira Kassiel, Dylan Moore, Isabelle Scarborough, Vera Schroeder, and Jasmine Wallack undertook the research for this bibliography, with additional contributions from Consortium staff members. Entries include citations and, insofar as possible, abstracts of summaries. If you are familiar with resources that you think should be included in the next draft of this bibliography and/or in the Consortium's Research Hub, please send us the citation, and, if possible, the PDF.

This bibliography was created by the Consortium on Gender, Security and Human Rights, as part of our Feminist Roadmap for Sustainable Peace and Planet (FRSPP) project. The FRSPP focuses on the transnational economic actors and processes that tend to deepen the inequalities that underlie armed conflicts and to undermine the prospects for peace that is both politically and environmentally sustainable. Its goal is to provide: forward-looking expert knowledge of those processes; analyses of their impacts on gender relations and other structural inequalities underlying armed conflicts; and recommendations for how to engage and modify those processes to be more supportive of the societal transformations critical to building gender-equitable, sustainable peace. Topics addressed in the FRSPP include, inter alia: the economic recovery policy prescriptions of international financial institutions; extractive industries and natural resource policy; land rights, large scale land acquisition and land grabbing; infrastructure reconstruction; and climate disruption. 1 Consortium on Gender, Security and Human Rights The Climate Crisis: Gendered Impacts, Women’s Agency, and Feminist Analyses Bibliography with Abstracts Table of Contents I.

"Identifying Gender Vulnerabilities in Context of Climate Change in Indus Basin." Environmental Development 31: 34-42. Abstract: Changes in temperature and hydro-meteorological patterns in Indus basin due to climate change are believed to be impacting farming communities in different ways. From a gender perspective however, impacts of change vary from place to place, household to household and for individual members of the household due to a multiplicity of factors including expectation of individual members of a household to take additional responsibilities in difficult times. As an unavoidable coping strategy, the affected communities in upper Indus basin are compelled to send male members away from home in search of alternate sources of livelihoods. This compels women to take additional responsibilities at farm, household and community levels which ultimately increase the vulnerabilities of local women. However, scenario is different in mid-stream, where women have an additional workload to manage water requirements for household and livestock. While in downstream of the basin, women are culturally and socially dependent on men which increase their vulnerability many folds. Therefore, differentiated analysis of climate change impacts, based on gender roles and responsibilities, is crucial in climate change research. This paper presents gendered vulnerabilities at different scales in up, mid and downstream of the basin.

Abstract: Values, patriarchal norms, and traditions related to gender and gendering are diverse among societies, communities, and precincts. As such, although climate change is expected to exacerbate vulnerabilities and deepen existing gender inequities and inequalities, the
