Gender bias and inequity holds women back in their conservation careers

Robyn James et al.

Summary: Globally, women are underrepresented in addressing the climate and biodiversity loss crises. A survey among conservation and science staff at The Nature Conservancy revealed that men have more influence in conservation and science decision making, women face gender bias and multiple barriers in their conservation careers, and experience harassment and discrimination. Men perceive the sector as more equitable for women than women themselves. Gender equality does not eliminate systemic inequity, which can be exacerbated by intersectional issues. Recommendations include workplace and cultural change, recruitment improvements, pay transparency, and career development policies.

Changing business as usual in global climate and development action: Making space for social justice in carbon markets

Seema Arora-Jonsson et al.

Summary: Carbon markets are advocated as a primary way to combat climate change by businesses and governments. However, critical scholarship has highlighted their underwhelming climate performance, contribution to social and geopolitical inequalities, and distraction from the need to change current capitalist production and consumption modes. This article argues for the importance of engaging with carbon markets while maintaining a critical stance, in order to address the human dimensions of global environmental governance and ensure justice and sustainability in development and climate action. Using a gendered methodology called the W+ Standard, the article explores ways to incorporate gender and social justice into emissions-reducing projects. It emphasizes the need for experimental economic relations in local contexts to transform unequal development and environmental relationships.

Gender bias in ecosystem restoration: from science to practice

Veronica Cruz-Alonso et al.

Summary: The study analyzes gender bias in ecosystem restoration and highlights three dimensions of inequality. The results show that men dominate in research, outreach, and practice initiatives in ecosystem restoration. Although there is a trend towards gender equality in research, gender inequality persists in most ecosystems, with women leading more projects in more developed countries.

Gender and conservation science: Men continue to out-publish women at the world's largest environmental conservation non-profit organization

Robyn James et al.

Summary: This study examines the publication patterns of women in the field of conservation science, using the Nature Conservancy as a case study. The findings show that women are underrepresented in authorship, particularly those from the Global South. Although there has been an increase in the number of women publishing, the gender parity has not been achieved. These results highlight the need for addressing this significant issue in publishing within the global conservation science community.

Re-gendering Climate Change: Men and Masculinity in Climate Research, Policy, and Practice

Joane Nagel et al.

Summary: Climate change research often confuses gender with women, depicting women as victims without acknowledging men's responsibilities and failures in climate change. This gender/women conflation hinders compensation for women's injuries.

Women and Global South strikingly underrepresented among top-publishing ecologists

Bea Maas et al.

Summary: The study found that only 11% of the top-publishing authors in leading ecology, evolution, and conservation journals between 1945 and 2019 were women, and authors from countries in the Global South were underrepresented. The United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, and Canada accounted for over 75% of top-publishing authors. The number of women and authors from the Global South is slowly increasing over time.

Consumer behavior and climate change: consumers need considerable assistance

John Thogersen

Summary: Research on consumer behavior and climate change has improved how to mobilize consumers effectively to combat climate change; there is a need for more research to refine insights on impactful behavior changes; making climate friendly behavior easy for consumers is crucial, through correct pricing of carbon footprint, favorable comparison of climate friendly products, and carbon labeling.
