Episode 19: Gender and climate policy by Chatham House published on 2021-11-09T12:35:20Z Overlooked for too long, the unequal impacts of climate change are increasingly being recognised by the scientific and policy communities. In particular attention has been drawn towards the gendered implications. For the first time at a COP summit, gender is an official agenda item in Glasgow. In this episode, Nina Jeffs (Schwartzman Academy Fellow in the Environment and Society Programme) explores the relationship between gender and climate change.
