#FeministFestival A citizens deliberation on the Green Transition
This is a rather wide topic. There is much to say about how gender intersects with climate. For example, how does societal expectations and gender roles affect how we are tackling the climate catastrophe? Who are most disproportionately affected by climate actions and inactions? Who sits by the decision-making table. How is the EU addressing social justice in their climate action policies? Also, one might be thinking about: What is gender? How does other identity factors, such as racialised identity, age, socio-economic status, ethnicity, education, disability status, sexuality etc etc impact the issues raised above.

Very interesting topic!
I'd like to discuss the focus of gender and climat at enterpreneurship. This is one of the research we conducted on this topic in Ukraine.

I'd like to explore the intersection of gender, corruption, access to natural resources, and climate change. Climate change often exacerbates existing gender inequalities, with women disproportionately affected by its consequences. Women, especially in rural areas of developing countries, are more reliant on natural resources for their livelihoods, such as water, fuelwood, and agricultural land. Corruption can further marginalize women's access to these resources, amplifying their vulnerability to the impacts of climate change. Corruption can undermine efforts to adapt to climate change by diverting resources away from adaptation initiatives or by obstructing the implementation of effective adaptation policies and programs. This can further marginalize women, who may face additional barriers, such as limited access to financial resources, technology, and decision-making processes, in adapting to changing environmental conditions.

There’s a lot of great work being done by women, nonbinary folks and men on the intersections between gender and environmental justice. Ecological masculinities is one contribution to this unfolding conversation.
