Beschreibung:
This book turns critical feminist scrutiny on national climate policies in India and examines what transition might really mean for marginalized groups in the country. A vision of 'just transitions' is increasingly being used by activists and groups to ensure that pathways towards sustainable futures are equitable and inclusive. Exploring this concept, this volume provides a feminist study of what it would take to ensure just transitions in India where gender, in relation to its interesting dimensions of power, is at the center of analysis. With case studies on climate mitigation and adaptation from different parts of India, the book brings together academics, practitioners and policy-makers who provide commentary on sectors including agriculture, forestry and renewables. Overall, the book has relevance far beyond India's borders, as India's attempt to deal with its diverse population makes it a key litmus test for countries seeking to transition against a backdrop of inequality both in the global North and South. This volume will be of great interest to students and scholars of climate policy, gender studies, sustainable development and development studies more broadly. *** Table of Contents *** Introduction By: Seema Arora-Jonsson, Kavya Michael and Manish Kumar Shrivastava *** Climate Diplomacy, Just Transitions, and Gender Mainstreaming: India’s Experiences By: Dhanasree Jayaram and Shirin Choudhary *** Gender and India’s Climate Policy: Bridging the Disconnects By: Manish Kumar Shrivastava, Seema Arora-Jonsson and Kavya Michael *** Voices from the field: Working for a just climate in India By: Seema Arora-Jonsson with Srestha Banerjee, Shloka Nath, Kalyani Raj, R.R.
