This book addresses the issue of climate change in Latin America from an intersectional perspective, making women visible as agents of change. By placing gender at the heart of the ecological debate, the book denounces the multiple layers of vulnerability faced by women and proposes a model of resilience and social transformation led by women. In a time of climate emergency, growing inequality, and the need for systemic solutions, this book calls for rethinking our relationships with the environment, recognising the transformative power of historically marginalised voices, and building coalitions that transcend geographical, cultural, and gender boundaries. It will be of interest to researchers in gender studies, ecofeminism, environmental justice, and Latin American studies.
