“…Integrating feminist insights into critical climate justice also promotes inclusive planning and action beyond techno‐managerialist climate solutions. It can strengthen women’s strategic activism, advocacy, capacity building, and resource and network access (Dankelman & Naidu, 2020). It also documents women’s lived experiences and elevates differing voices (Godden et al, 2020), as well as how international political economy of development can derail gender justice in climate action (Fresnillo Sallan, 2020).…”

Climate change has had unequal and uneven burdens across places whereby the planetary crisis involves a common but differentiated responsibility. The injustices of intensifying climate breakdown have laid bare the fault lines of suffering across sites and scales. A climate justice framework helps us to think about and address these inequities. Climate justice fundamentally is about paying attention to how climate change impacts people differently, unevenly, and disproportionately, as well as redressing the resultant injustices in fair and equitable ways. Critical climate justice as a praxis of solidarity and collective action benefits from greater engagement with intersectional and international feminist scholarship. Incorporating insights from feminist climate justice bolsters solidarity praxis while enriching and reframing dominant climate change discussions for more impactful and accountable action.

“…What all this demonstrates is that heeding intersectional gendered implications of climate change and the ongoing pandemic are particularly important as patriarchal norms, inequities, and inequalities often place women and men in differentiated positions in their abilities to respond to and cope with dramatic changes in socioecological relations and dispossessions, as well as foregrounds the complex ways in which social power relations operate in communal responses to any strategies deployed. For instance, as greater climate-exacerbated storms, hurricanes/cyclones, heat stress, wildfires, and flood continue to ravage large parts of the world, sufferings have been compounded with the pandemic due to uneven landscapes of assistance, support, relief, and rehabilitation (Dankelman & Naidu, 2020). Erratic heat waves, wildfires, irregular rainfall patterns, and frequent stronger storms are part and parcel of climate breakdown, which will worsen over time.…”

“…Research that is intersectional can thus provide ways to begin to address institutional and structural challenges that compound impacts of climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic across scales and locations. Feminist politics that prioritizes intersectional inclusion, political leverage, and accountability can create more gender-responsive responses for COVID-19 and climate change (Dankelman & Naidu, 2020). These scholars argue that 'feminist responses to COVID-19 as well as to the global climate crisis call for fundamental system changes, with a need for feminist, just, and green approaches at the heart of all post-COVID developments' (Dankelman & Naidu, 2020: 450).…”

Climate change, COVID-19, and the co-production of injustices: a feminist reading of overlapping crises

The overlapping global socio-ecological crises of climate change and COVID-19 pandemic have simultaneously dominated discussions since 2020. The connections between them expose underbellies of structural inequities and systemic marginalizations across scales and sites. While ongoing climate change amplifies, compounds, and creates new forms of injustices and stresses, all of which are interlinked and interconnected, the emergence of COVID-19 pandemic has also co-created new challenges, vulnerabilities, and burdens, as well as reinforcing old ones. An intersectional analysis of these overlapping but uneven global crises demonstrates the importance of investigating and addressing them simultaneously through a feminist lens. This allows for a more nuanced understanding of the co-production of injustices structurally, materially, and discursively.

“…Women and girls currently constitute the majority of trafficked persons (International Labour Organization, 2017). Women are particularly vulnerable to climate change, often because of an underlying social and cultural structure that may stem from gender inequality (Dankelman, 2012; Turek et al, 2017). Women constitute the majority of the globe's poor and vulnerable populations as a whole, which places them at a uniquely disadvantageous position, and climate change may severely worsen these disparities (Lambrou and Piana, 2006; Women's Environment & Development Organization, 2007).…”

Potential Impact of Climate Change on Human Trafficking

et al. 2021

Climate change is a threat to the public health with wide-reaching impacts that are becoming more studied and recognized. An aspect of climate change that has not yet gained adequate scholarly attention is its potential impact on human trafficking. We review the potential impact of climate change on risk factors to human trafficking including poverty, gender inequality, political instability, migration or forced displacement, and weather disasters. We conclude that climate change is a crucially important consideration in understanding the complex and multifactorial risks for human trafficking. These findings add to the priority for health professionals to embrace efforts to prevent and to mitigate the effects of climate change and to take account of these risk factors in screening and identifying trafficked persons.
