WIDE-Update: Just Transition
Klimakrise und gerechter Wandel: „Leave no woman behind!“
WIDE-Update 1/2024: Just Transition – Leave no woman behind! (pdf)
Es ist nicht das erste WIDE-Update, in dem wir uns mit dem Thema „sozial- und gendergerechte Energiewende“ beschäftigen. Das ist kein Zufall, denn im WIDE-Netzwerk haben wir uns in den letzten Jahren sehr intensiv mit Fragen der Klimagerechtigkeit auseinandergesetzt.
Die ökologischen Verwerfungen, die die Klimakrise mit sich bringt, verschärfen die soziale Ungleichheit. Frauen* zählen aufgrund gender-spezifischer Diskriminierung und wegen ihren Care-Verpflichtungen rasch zu den besonders Benachteiligten.
Doch Frauen* leisten Widerstand, und es gibt immer wieder punktuelle Erfolge, wie jüngst die […]

Gender and climate-induced migration
Briefing paper by Isabella Szukits
The climate crisis affects millions of people worldwide. However, not everyone feels its effects equally. The main causes of global heating are the burning of fossil fuels and our current economic system, which is based on the exploitation of nature and people. People in the Global South and young people have not contributed as much to these causes, but they have to live with and deal with the effects.

While a direct link between the climate crisis and migration decisions might not always be […]

Feminist South Perspectives on the Climate Crisis – Online Talk Series
(2.3.2024) As a follow-up, 3 short videos (10-12 min) have been produced from this online talk series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBgbUra582R4daqfliqWLSv23BdAE4aI7
The climate crisis is accelerating. Yet rich nations delay decisive action, while many countries in the Global South already face the harshest impacts of the climate crisis, resulting in lives and homes lost, existences and ecosystems wiped out. At the same time, climate-induced impacts like droughts and water-scarcity are often exacerbated by resource extraction, ranging from mineral (Gold, Lithium) to biomass (wood, soy, palmoil, rubber, leather) resources.
Against these adversities, many strong women fight the climate crisis on the frontlines in […]
