Feminist Frontiers in Climate Justice - Creating Climate Justice: Gender Equality for a More Just World

About this episode

This episode explores the intersection of climate change and women's equality, emphasizing the need for both movements to address each other.

In this two-part podcast series, we are exploring why efforts to mitigate climate change need to be aware of women’s equality and why efforts to achieve women’s equality must respond to the climate crisis. This series is a joint project from the Oxford Human Rights Hub, led by Professor Sandra Fredman, and the National Research Foundation-funded South African Research Chair in Equality, Law, and Social Justice at the University of the Witwatersrand, held by Professor Cathi Albertyn. The conversations in this podcast series stem from a new edited collection, ‘Feminist Frontiers in Climate Justice: Rights, climate change and gender equality’, published by Edward Elgar in February 2023 and edited by Cathi Albertyn, Meghan Campbell, Helena Alviar García, Sandra Fredman, and Marta Rodriguez de Assis Machado. RightsUp is brought to you by the Oxford Human Rights Hub. Executive Produced by Meghan Campbell. Produced, edited and narrated by Sophie Smith. Music for this series is by Rosemary Allmann.
