Gender and Environment: A Feminist Political Ecology Perspective

”Feminist political ecology is a feminist approach to political ecology, where gender becomes a main category analysis in relation to understanding how decision-making practices and socio-political forces influence environmental laws and issues, as well as access to and control over resources.” Within the book, Gender and Environment, the chapter A Feminist Political Ecology Perspective, “discusses the relationship between gender, environment, and development, arguing that men and women have different environmental concerns and experience environmental issues differently because of gender roles.”
