This book comprehensively explores the intersection between gender, climate change, and the green economy in Africa. It investigates the gendered impacts of climate change and emphasises the critical role women play in addressing climate change, shaping sustainable development, and the green economy.Drawing on a range of case studies, policy analyses, and theoretical reflections, the book highlights the often-overlooked contributions of women to sustainability efforts, environmental governance, and socio-economic resilience in the face of climate impacts. It argues that women are disproportionately affected by climate change due to existing socio-economic inequalities. It challenges women’s exclusion from climate policy development and implementation by placing women at the centre of climate action and as critical actors for advancing climate justice and the green economy. To bridge the gap between gender-focused research and practical policy solutions, the book provides gender-sensitive strategies for a more inclusive, just, and sustainable future. This book will be an important read for policymakers, researchers, and students across the fields of sustainable development, African studies, gender studies, and environmental studies. Additionally, it will be a valuable resource for development practitioners and NGOs working in the space of environmental justice and sustainable development.
