This completely revised second edition of Gender and Environment explains the inter-relationship between gender relations and environmental problems and practices, and how they affect and impact on each other.

Explaining our current predicament in the context of historical gender and environment relations, and contemporary theorisations of this relationship, this book explores how gender and environment are imbricated at different scales: the body; the household, community and city through concepts of work; and at the global scale. The final chapter draws these themes together through a consideration of waste and shows that gender is an important dimension in how we define, categorise, generate and manage waste, and how this contributes to environmental problems. Contemporary examples of environmental activism are juxtaposed with past campaigns throughout the book to demonstrate how protest and activism is as gendered as the processes which have created the situations protested about. The author's experiences of working with both the European Union on gender mainstreaming environmental research and practice, and with environmental groups on gender-based campaigns provide unique insights and case studies which inform the book.

The book provides a contemporary textbook with a strong research foundation, drawing on the author's extensive research, and professional and practice activity on the gender-environment relationship over the past 20 years, in a wide range of geographical contexts.

Susan Buckingham writes, researches, advises and broadcasts on gender and environment. She was Professor in Human Geography at Brunel University until 2015 and a trustee for the Women's Environmental Network for nine years. Susan has also advised EU, UN and British Council gender and environment projects.
