Protecting the environment: why a gender perspective matters

This report illustrates linkages between environment and gender in the five main areas of work of the Swedish Society for Nature Conservation (SSNC): agriculture, forests, seas and fishing, hazardous chemicals, and climate change. For each topic a case is presented with the objective to provide the reader with illustrations of how environment-gender relations are influenced by dynamic cultural and political processes, which differ according to particular, place-based contexts.
