Climate, Gendered is a news project making it easier to stay up to date with the wide array of gendered impacts linked to issues like proliferating pollution and rising global temperatures — plus, the ideas that might make a difference.
We're curating a multigenre, multisectoral body of knowledge — from current events coverage to cutting-edge research — so that cause readers and changemakers around the world can easily access stories and evidence at the intersection of climate, environment, and gender.
These are fields of study that don't always get to be in the same rooms, exchange strategies, integrate funding, and share influence. Yet, teaming up is set to become increasingly critical as rising seas, extreme weather events, habitat loss, and more threaten to continue disproportionately impacting girls, women, trans communities, and non-binary people — especially those from communities of color, Indigenous people, disabled people, and people experiencing poverty.
At CG, we're also interested in the climate crises and concerns that can disproportionately affect men and boys, including the health impacts of coal and minerals mining and the sidelining from adaptation planning meant to ensure the resilience of access to sexual and reproductive health care.
We're going to ask the experts — technical experts and those expert in their own experiences — questions like:
At CG, we're focused on delivering clear, concise, credible, and consistent digests as well as original articles that land in subscribers' inboxes with potential solutions and frontline voices, not just doom and gloom.
But the CG effect will be felt far away from your email. In addition to helping close the communication and coordination gaps between climate and gender sectors with practical tools and actionable information, we'll know we've made a difference when thinking about "climate" means thinking about "gender" and vice versa.
