Summary:"The intersection of gender, environment, and human rights reveals a complex interplay that underscores the need for an inclusive approach to addressing global challenges. Gender disparities often influence how individuals experience and respond to environmental issues, with women and marginalized communities frequently bearing the brunt of environmental degradation and climate change due to socio-economic inequalities. Integrating a gender perspective into environmental and human rights frameworks is crucial for achieving equitable and sustainable solutions. This approach ensures that policies address the specific needs and contributions of all genders, promoting justice and empowerment while safeguarding environmental resources. Recognizing and addressing these intersections can lead to more effective and inclusive strategies for protecting human rights and fostering environmental sustainability. Gender, Environment, and Human Rights: An Intersectional Exploration raises awareness about the interconnectedness of gender dynamics, environmental sustainability, and human rights violations, fostering a deeper understanding among readers. It advocates for change by spotlighting existing injustices and empowering readers to engage in meaningful action, whether at the individual, community, or policy level. Covering topics such as climate change, knowledge systems, and sustainable development, this book is an excellent resource for academicians, scholars, policymakers, activists, students, educators, and more."--
