E14. Let's talk about Gender Equality & the Environment
Manage episode 322530401 series 3058368
Gender inequality and the climate crisis are two of the most urgent challenges of today.
In this week's episode, we explore the link between gender equality and the environment, which was also the theme of this year's International Women's Day.
In this episode, I talk about:
- 7 useful English expressions and vocabulary you can use to speak about gender equality and the environment
- a UN article, an expert video and a podcast interview on the topic of sustainability, ecofeminism and climate action
Here is the vocabulary mentioned:
to mitigate = to make (something bad) less severe, serious, or painful.
to predominate = be greater in number or amount.
disproportionate = too large or too small in comparison with something else
carbon footprint = the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere as a result of the activities of a particular individual, organization, or community.
a shift in the way = a small change in position, direction
to foster = encourage the development of something
to bear the brunt of something = be the person to suffer the most as the result of an attack, misfortune
Resources:
Five ways to build gender equality and sustainability
Vandana Shiva | Ecofeminism and the decolonization of women, nature and the future
The Irish Times Women's Podcast, Ep 521 How women can save the planet (and why they shouldn’t have to)
