Anthropogenic climate change in Earth’s atmospheric commons is regarded as the quint essential global environmental problem today. Throughout history, as often expressed in stories and art, women and nature have been closely linked. Unfortunately, the link between nature and feminism extends to the present day. Women who are the head of their household – especially poor, rural women – are disproportionately exposed to environmental issues such as deforestation, water pollution, and various environmental toxins. Nature is a feminist issue because, historically, women have been more impacted by environmental issues than men, and ecofeminism works to create alternatives and solutions outside of those informed by the biased views and opinions of those who are least affected.
Frequency: Bi-annual
Aims & Scope
Ecofeminism and Climate Change (EFCC) publishes peer-reviewed interdisciplinary research articles on the impact of climate change and environmental degradation on women, the relationship between gender and the environment, and the ways in which women and nature have been similarly oppressed. EFCC also analyses adaptation and mitigation techniques for reducing emissions and discusses values such as care, trust, kinship, and goodwill, which are often underestimated in mainstream environmental care practices. Articles should address the issue of climate change from an (eco)feminism perspective.
