In an era defined by unprecedented environmental challenges and societal complexities, it has become increasingly evident that conventional, siloed approaches are inadequate for grappling with the multifaceted nature of climate change and its profound impacts on human societies. Not only do gender inequalities contribute to climate change, but its impacts also affect gender and health in intricate ways. Women often bear the brunt of climate-induced hardships, yet at the same time are frequently excluded from decision-making processes and resource allocation. The intricate web of interactions between climate change, gender dynamics, health outcomes, and environmental integrity necessitates a multifaceted approach that integrates insights from diverse disciplines, including environmental science, public health, sociology, economics, and gender studies.
This course focused on analysing the interactions between climate change, gender/agriculture, environment, and health. The analysis was based on analytical frameworks, case studies, observations, and interviews that deepen the understanding of these complex relationships, while also providing input for potential transdisciplinary interventions.
