Abstract

Addressing climate justice involves recognizing the disparities in climate change impacts, identifying the most vulnerable groups, and prioritizing adaptation strategies to support them. Since the patriarchal societal structure influences these inequalities, this paper focuses on how gender intersects with climate (in)justice. Following the PRISMA protocol, 49 out of 134 English articles selected from Scopus and Web of Science databases, published between 2012 and May 2023, were included in the review. As a result, we categorized the studies into three major themes of theoretical developments: (i) Climate justice strategies, adaptation, and governance, (ii) Intersectionality and climate justice, (iii) Activism and movements for climate justice. The results draw attention to the regions of the global South, as well as to low-income women and specific feminist approaches such as ecofeminism. These categories present valuable opportunities to enhance understanding and action at the intersection of climate issues, social justice, and gender. Climate justice cannot be fully achieved without including a gender perspective.

基于性别的气候（不）公正：概述

要实现气候正义，就必须认识到气候变化影响的差异，确定最脆弱的群体，并优先考虑支持他们的适应战略。由于父权制社会结构影响了这些不平等现象，本文重点关注性别与气候（不）公正之间的相互关系。根据 PRISMA 协议，我们从 Scopus 和 Web of Science 数据库中选取了 134 篇英文文章，其中 49 篇发表于 2012 年至 2023 年 5 月。因此，我们将这些研究分为三大理论发展主题：(i) 气候正义战略、适应和治理，(ii) 交叉性和气候正义，(iii) 促进气候正义的行动主义和运动。研究结果引起了人们对全球南部地区以及低收入妇女和特定女权主义方法（如生态女权主义）的关注。这些类别为加强对气候问题、社会正义和性别问题交叉点的理解和行动提供了宝贵的机会。如果不纳入性别视角，就无法充分实现气候正义。

期刊介绍： Environmental Science & Policy promotes communication among government, business and industry, academia, and non-governmental organisations who are instrumental in the solution of environmental problems. It also seeks to advance interdisciplinary research of policy relevance on environmental issues such as climate change, biodiversity, environmental pollution and wastes, renewable and non-renewable natural resources, sustainability, and the interactions among these issues. The journal emphasises the linkages between these environmental issues and social and economic issues such as production, transport, consumption, growth, demographic changes, well-being, and health. However, the subject coverage will not be restricted to these issues and the introduction of new dimensions will be encouraged.
