This article explores how feminist perspectives, inrelation to gender and power dynamics, contributeto transformative ways of addressing the current climate crisis. In the first part of the article, we introduce the need for a feminist lens when analysing thedifferential impacts of climate change in relation togender, class, ethnicity, etc., as well as the role ofwomen's leadership in activism, negotiations, political decision-making and science. In the secondpart, we present how the facilitation of public andcollective conversations that incorporate these issues, based on the experience of open forums inMadrid, allows for reflections on climate change asan everyday experience, attention to emotions andembodiment, intersectionality and eco-dependence and interdependence, as well as different formsof leadership. Such conversations and encountersaim to contribute to the necessary work of furtherexpanding feminist approaches to climate change. ; Este artículo explora cómo las perspectivas feministas, en relación a las dinámicas de género y poder,aportan a las formas transformadoras de abordar laactual crisis climática. En la primera parte del artículointroducimos la necesidad de una mirada feministaa la hora de analizar los impactos diferenciales delcambio climático en relación al género, la clase, la et-nia, etcétera, así como el papel de los liderazgos delas mujeres en el activismo, las negociaciones y tomade decisiones políticas, y en la ciencia. En la segundaparte, presentamos cómo la facilitación de conversaciones públicas y colectivas que incorporan estascuestiones, a partir de la experiencia de foros abiertosen Madrid, permite reflexiones en torno al cambio climático como una experiencia cotidiana, la atención alas emociones y las experiencias vividas, la interseccionalidad y la ecodependencia e interdependencia,así como respecto a diferentes formas de liderazgo.Este tipo de conversaciones y encuentros pretendenaportar al trabajo necesario de seguir ampliandolas aproximaciones feministas al cambio climático.

Combining socio-cultural valuations of ecosystem services with ecological and monetary assessments is critical to informing decision making with an integrative and multi-pronged approach. This study examined differences in the perceptions of ecosystem service supply and diversity across eight major ecosystem types in Spain and scrutinized the social and ecological factors shaping these perceptions. First, we implemented 1932 face-to-face questionnaires among local inhabitants to assess perceptions of ecosystem service supply. Second, we created an ecosystem service diversity index to measure the perceived diversity of services considering agroecosystems, Mediterranean mountains, arid systems, two aquatic continental systems, coastal ecosystems and two urban ecosystems. Finally, we examined the influence of biophysical, socio-demographic and institutional factors in shaping ecosystem service perceptions. Overall, cultural services were the most widely perceived, followed by provisioning and regulating services. Provisioning services were most strongly associated with agroecosystems, mountains and coastal systems, whereas cultural services were associated with urban ecosystems and regulating services were specifically linked with agroecosystems, mountains and urban recreational areas. The highest service diversity index values corresponded to agroecosystems, mountains and wetlands. Our results also showed that socio-demographic factors, such as place of origin (urban vs. rural) and educational level, as well as institutional factors, such as management and access regimes, shaped the perception of ecosystem services. ; Funding for the development of this research was provided by: the Andalusian Center for the Assessment of Global Change (CAESCG) (GLOCHARID project), the County Council of Biscay and the Basque Government by providing funds for this research, IMIDRA research Project Assessment of Ecosystem Services provided by Agroecosystems (FP16-ECO), funds of the European Union EU FP7 project OpenNESS (Grant ...
En base a la investigación Biodiversidad, economía y empleo en España. Análisis y perspectivas de futuro (Oteros et al, 2022), nos centramos en las dimensiones de cambio de modelo productivo y, especialmente, en las ocupaciones y en el empleo, respetuosas con la biodiversidad. El objetivo consiste en: a) Examinar la inversión, gasto y tipo de actuación de la economía española en relación con el empleo y la biodiversidad entre 2011 y 2019;b) proyectar el empleo, bajo hipótesis de cambio hacia un modelo productivo basado en un metabolismo sociedad-naturaleza compatible respetuoso con la biodiversidad, proyectando para el periodo 2019-2028, según diferentes escenarios, de transición suave o intensa, en la estructura de ocupaciones; c) sugerir potenciales líneas de transformación necesarias -reconversiones de actividades y cambios en el tiempo de trabajo- para posibilitar una transición ecológica socialmente justa cuyas condiciones puedan prevenir los peligros que acechan a la biodiversidad en España.
This synthesis article joins the authors of the special issue "Gender perspectives in resilience, vulnerability and adaptation to global environmental change" in a common reflective dialogue about the main contributions of their papers. In sum, here we reflect on links between gender and feminist approaches to research in adaptation and resilience in global environmental change (GEC). The main theoretical contributions of this special issue are threefold: emphasizing the relevance of power relations in feminist political ecology, bringing the livelihood and intersectionality approaches into GEC, and linking resilience theories and critical feminist research. Empirical insights on key debates in GEC studies are also highlighted from the nine cases analysed, from Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa and the Pacific. Further, the special issue also contributes to broaden the gender approach in adaptation to GEC by incorporating research sites in the Global North alongside sites from the Global South. This paper examines and compares the main approaches adopted (e.g. qualitative or mixed methods) and the methodological challenges that derive from intersectional perspectives. Finally, key messages for policy agendas and further research are drawn from the common reflection.

En resumen, aquí reflexionamos sobre los vínculos entre los enfoques feministas y de género a la investigación en adaptación y resiliencia en el cambio ambiental global (GEC). Las principales contribuciones teóricas de este número especial son tres: enfatizar la relevancia de las relaciones de poder en la ecología política feminista, incorporar los enfoques de medios de subsistencia e interseccionalidad al GEC y vincular las teorías de la resiliencia y la investigación feminista crítica. También se destacan las ideas empíricas sobre los debates clave en los estudios de GEC de los nueve casos analizados, de Europa, América, Asia, África y el Pacífico. Además, el número especial también contribuye a ampliar el enfoque de género en la adaptación a GEC mediante la incorporación de sitios de investigación en el Norte Global junto a sitios del Sur Global. Este documento examina y compara los principales enfoques adoptados (por ejemplo, los métodos cualitativos o mixtos) y los desafíos metodológicos que se derivan de las perspectivas interseccionales. Finalmente, los mensajes clave para las agendas políticas y la investigación adicional se extraen de la reflexión común. ; Aquest article de síntesi uneix els autors del número especial "Gender perspectives in resilience, vulnerability and adaptation to global environmental change" en un diàleg reflexiu comú sobre les principals contribucions dels seus documents. En resum, aquí reflexionem sobre els vincles entre els enfocaments feministes i de gènere a la investigació en adaptació i resiliència en el canvi ambiental global (GEC). Les principals contribucions teòriques d'aquest número especial són tres: emfatitzar la rellevància de les relacions de poder en l'ecologia política feminista, incorporar els enfocaments de mitjans de subsistència i interseccionalitat al GEC i vincular les teories de la resiliència i la investigació feminista crítica. També es destaquen les idees empíriques sobre els debats clau en els estudis de GEC dels nou casos analitzats, d'Europa, Amèrica, Àsia, Àfrica i el Pacífic. A més, el número especial també contribueix a ampliar l'enfocament de gènere en l'adaptació a GEC mitjançant la incorporació de llocs d'investigació al Nord Global al costat de llocs del Sud Global. Aquest document examina i compara els principals enfocaments adoptats (per exemple, els mètodes qualitatius o mixtos) i els desafiaments metodològics que es deriven de les perspectives interseccionals. Finalment, els missatges clau per a les agendes polítiques i la investigació addicional s'extreuen de la reflexió comuna.
