Scientific American features UN ‘gender-equality researchers’ on ‘How Feminism Can Guide Climate Change Action’ – ‘We must redistribute resources away from male-dominated’ activities

Scientific American:  “As gender-equality researchers at the U.N., we see growing evidence that women, girls and gender-diverse people are bearing the brunt of climate change. And that raises a question: What if we approached climate from a feminist perspective?

Feminism offers an analysis of how inequalities structure our world and therefore drive the climate crisis, among other global concerns. We believe that it provides a vision of a better climate future, and a practical approach for moving towards it. That sound future is not just about ending fossil fuel–based economies—though that is urgent and necessary—but a more fundamental transformation of our economic and political systems. …

The feminist climate justice approach tries to address the interlinked challenges of climate change, gender inequality and social injustice. … A feminist climate justice approach elevates their voices and values their contributions to understanding the climate crisis and charting a new way forward. …

We must redistribute resources away from male-dominated, environmentally harmful economic activities towards those prioritizing women’s employment, regeneration and care for both people and ecosystems.”

New York Times touts You Will Own Nothing: ‘Climate Change Should Make You Rethink Homeownership’ – Pushes ‘renting’ a home as ‘a better way’ – Written by a professor who owns his own home!

NYT: October 29, 2024: n economist and a professor of real estate and finance at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.

Excerpt: Climate change is most likely making homeownership more expensive and less predictable in large areas of the country, and it’s only getting worse. 

As insurance premiums and property taxes rise and future home values grow more uncertain, it’s time for some prospective buyers set on living in areas with high risk of hurricanes, floods, wildfires and tornadoes to reconsider homeownership as a financial goal. Renting is quickly becoming a better way for many people to enjoy these places with much less financial baggage. …

By raising the costs and the uncertainty around being an owner, climate change is only swinging the pendulum farther from the dream of homeownership. … Being a renter might sound like a step backward to some — a return to your 20s and 30s — but in this case, it may be worth trading some control for reduced exposure and greater flexibility. A new American dream of renting property near the water — imagine that.
