SCOPE

Recent climate change-related events across the world and their impacts on poorer and marginalised communities have given a new impetus to the issue of climate justice. Gender rights activists, researchers and practitioners have emphasized that there is no climate justice without gender justice, as they are intrinsically related. PLOS Climate calls for submissions for a new Collection to understand the status of work towards achieving gender-just, climate-resilient development pathways for the Global South, including successes and ongoing challenges. We invite submissions of Research Articles and proposals for Opinions and Reviews based on the following sub-themes or the overall theme of the Collection:

Research sub-themes
  • The intersection of gender and social inequalities within climate change discourse
  • The science-policy interface for gender and climate justice
  • Critical understanding of the role of gender in climate justice
  • Gender transformative adaptation
  • Solutions-based approaches to gender and climate justice
The IPCC AR6 report’s assessment on gender and transformative pathways shows that climate change adaptation actions can have negative gender outcomes rather than positive. This is mainly because adaptation programmes have not been gender sensitive. This shows the urgent need for adaptation to transform gender relations in order for it to be effective. This Collection will explore these aspects further to help policy makers understand the nuances of gender concerns in relation to changing climatic conditions
