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 prepares position statements on recent environment and sustainability issues, discuss' strategies to implement gender mainstreaming, and puts structures in place to allow effective lobbying of environment policy decisions from a gender perspective.

Women’s networks and feminist economists across the world have called for a paradigm shift in economic thinking and activities. Such a radical change would account for value of the (unpaid) care work of (predominantly) women and the environment, beyond their commodification and incorporation into the market economy.
