Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Gendered dynamics have always been crucial in determining the experience and patterns of migration. The roles and responsibilities assigned to men and women within households and communities, created by cultural norms, social hierarchies, and economic systems, have dramatically influenced their experiences, vulnerabilities, and contributions during these movements. This book examines the intricate relationship between gender, migration, and climate change to shed light on one of the most important socio-economic issues of the 21st century. It explores the gendered aspects of migration brought on by climate change, recognising the vulnerabilities, adaptability, and resilience of women, girls, and marginalised genders in the face of climate-related disruption.The book looks at how migration brought on by climate change alters the socio-economic environments of both sending and receiving groups. It focuses on how these changes either promote or impede social fairness by differentially affecting gender roles, economic opportunities, and access to resources. It looks at how migration fuelled by climate change exacerbates already-existing gender inequities, emphasising important issues like job accessibility, household and community decision-making authority, and the uneven cost of adjusting to economic and environmental shocks. Policy frameworks and tactics targeted at fostering gender-responsive resilience and advancing climate adaptation are assessed, acknowledging the pressing need for inclusive and equitable approaches.By weaving together rigorous analysis, empirical case studies, and policy evaluation, the book encourages transformative solutions that promote equity, inclusivity, and sustainability. It invites scholars, researchers, and decision-makers to reimagine migration governance and climate adaptation strategies, ensuring that gender equity remains at the heart of global efforts to build a just and resilient future.
