Bringing ecological feminist theory into conversation with climate governance and policy, this seminar examines how gendered power, institutional norms, and intersecting inequities shape who is included, who is excluded, and which practices and solutions dominate in climate governance. Join us for a seminar featuring Professor Annica Kronsell, University of Gothenburg. She will talk about "An Ecological Feminist Approach to Climate Change Governance".

Through illustrations from global, European and Swedish climate policy, industrial decarbonization, and transport electrification, it shows the limits of ‘business as usual’. However, it goes further than critique and introduces empathic rationality, rooted in eco-care ethics, as a constructive alternative to climate governance and most importantly, reimagines climate governance in a caring eco-social welfare state, sketching a vision of what climate governance and institutions would look like if they were built on care, equity, and ecological integrity.

Annica Kronsell is a Professor of Environmental Social Science at the School of Global Studies, University of Gothenburg. The joint seminar is co-organized by the Stockholm Center on Global Governance (SCGG) and the Environmental Politics, Policy, and Learning Seminar (EPPLE) – both based at Stockholm University.

Chair: Karin Bäckstrand, professor, Stockholm University.
