Gender, Intersectionality and Climate Institutions in Industrialised States This book explores how climate institutions in industrialised countries work to further the recognition of social differences and integrate this understanding in climate policy-making. With contributions from a range of expert scholars in the feld, this volume investigates policy-making in climate institutions from the perspective of power as it relates to gender. It also considers other intersecting social factors at differ- ent levels of governance, from the global to the local level and extending into climate-relevant sectors. The authors argue that a focus on climate institutions is important since they not only develop strategies and policies, they also (re)pro- duce power relations, promote specifc norms and values, and distribute resources. The chapters throughout draw on examples from various institutions includ- ing national ministries, transport and waste management authorities, and local authorities, as well as the European Union and the UNFCCC regime. Overall, this book demonstrates how feminist institutionalist theory and intersectional- ity approaches can contribute to an increased understanding of power relations and social differences in climate policy-making and in climate-relevant sectors in industrialised states. In doing so, it highlights the challenges of path depend- encies, but also reveals opportunities for advancing gender equality, equity, and social justice. Gender, Intersectionality and Climate Institutions in Industrialised States will be of great interest to students and scholars of climate politics, international relations, gender studies and policy studies.

Routledge Studies in Gender and Environments With the European Union, United Nations, UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, and national governments and businesses at least ostensibly paying more attention to gender, including as it relates to environments, there is more need than ever for existing and future scholars, policy-makers, and environ- mental professionals to understand and be able to apply these concepts to work towards greater gender equality in and for a sustainable world. Comprising edited collections, monographs and textbooks, this new Routledge Studies in Gender and Environments series will incorporate sophisticated critiques and theorisations, including engaging with the full range of masculinities and femininities, intersectionality, and LGBTQI perspectives. The concept of ‘envi- ronment’ will also be drawn broadly to recognise how built, social, and natural environments intersect with and infuence each other. Contributions will also be sought from global regions and contexts which are not yet well represented in gender and environments literature, in particular Russia, the Middle East, and China, as well as other East Asian countries such as Japan and Korea.
