Environment and sustainability policy is not gender neutral. While this may seem obvious, one will find a fundamental lack of understanding in policymaking and society with regards to this statement. Initiative, commitment, research and networking are needed to overcome the resistences.
We consider gender justice an indispensible prerequisite for sustainable development. genanet has been created to raise awareness of gender equity in environment and sustainability policy and to integrate it into research, to implement gender mainstreaming in environmental policymaking and into the activities of environmental organisations. genanet will prepare position statements on recent environment and sustainability issues, discuss strategies to implement gender mainstreaming, and will put structures in place to allow effective lobbying of environment policy decisions from a gender perspective.
genanet's work will focus in 2010 on two issues: the first one aims to strengthen women's voices against nuclear power by supporting them in organisating events, activitites, demonstrations and so on. The second issues is closely connected to women's rejection of nuclear energy use: in a research project in cooperation with the Free University of Berlin, we will analyse why such a small share of women switch from energy providers delivering electricity produced by coal and nuclear to those delivering electricity produced by renewables. The aim of the project is to find out how to motivate them to change to a renewable energy provider.
