Each is damaging to the earth, but they also negatively impact human lives, especially those of women. Despite these important links, to date very little consideration has been given to the role of gender in global environmental politics and policy-making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis timely and insightful book explains why gender matters to the environment. In it, Nicole Detraz examines contemporary debates around population, consumption, and security to show how gender can help us to better understand environmental issues and to develop policies to tackle them effectively and justly. Our society often has different expectations of men and women, and these expectations influence the realm of environmental politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on examples of various environmental concerns from countries around the world, \u003cem\u003eGender and the Environment\u003c\/em\u003e makes the case that it is only by adopting a more inclusive focus that embraces the complex ways men and women interact with ecosystems that we can move towards enhanced sustainability and greater environmental justice on a global scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis much-needed book is an invaluable guide for those interested in environmental politics and gender studies, and sets the agenda for future scholarship and advocacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854551011564,"sku":"9780745663821","price":119.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/4c83fa4105ab505175dabaaf878c9250.jpg?v=1759268651","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/gender-and-the-environment-by-nicole-detraz-9780745663821","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
