News, Resources, Frontline Voices

Climate, Gendered is a news project making it easy to stay up to date on 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. And 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 nonbinary people — especially those from communities of color, Indigenous people, disabled people, and people experiencing poverty.

We're going to ask the experts — technical experts and those expert in their own experiences — questions like:

  • What are communities doing to sustain access to menstrual, sexual, reproductive, and gender-affirming care in the midst of devastating floods?
  • How are contraceptive developers designing products for resilience to rising temperatures?
  • How can we protect pregnant agricultural workers from extreme heat?
  • Who is ensuring that the green labor market can achieve gender equity?
  • What about the gendered impacts of PFAS, microplastics, and vector-borne disease?

At Climate, Gendered, 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 closing the communications and coordination gaps between climate and gender justice 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.
