Abstract

In urban spaces, due to gender roles, as well as other axes of power that shape relationships and social spaces, women and other feminized subjects often find themselves invisible or at a disadvantage in the face of a changing climate. How can a feminist epistemology contribute to the study of climate change? How can the category of gender be an analytical/practical tool and not a conceptual or terminological accessory? What is the relevance of the gender approach in the analysis of climate change in urban contexts? From the proposals emanating from feminist literature, as well as from gender and urban studies that have tried to connect city, gender and climate change, this text outlines some analytical and epistemological axes that are expected to give some answers to these questions.
