Shifting Narratives and Practices to Achieve Gender Just Climate Transitions

This CSW66 side event brings together insights from ecofeminist research in global North and South arguing that both narratives and practices must change to secure gender just transitions: ecofeminism offers powerful alternative narratives that value care for people and planet, in contrast to mainstream development. Much just transition policy attention still focuses on male-dominated, formal work such as coal mining. Who is represented in narratives for just low-carbon transitions makes a difference. Women’s voices and lived experiences need to influence debates and decision making to achieve gender-egalitarian practices and low-carbon transitions that contribute to climate action and justice.

This session contributes to the Global Alliance of Care by highlighting the need for research and evidence to make more effective care policies. In Latin America there are promising examples, but they come with their own challenges. For instance, when care services are expanded, what are the gendered economic outcomes in terms of both jobs created and earnings generated? How does the unpaid and paid workload of women and men change, and who is at risk of time poverty? Join us as we share the most recent research findings that are informing policy responses aiming to recognise, reduce, and redistribute unpaid care work.
