Earlier research on different kinds of environmental issues show that gender configurations matter. Previously focus in relation to climate change has mainly been on how women in poor countries with small emissions per capita are affected by various power structures, of less interest has research in wealthy countries been; different forms of masculinities even less. This seminar will discuss how the figurations industrial-, ecological-, and ecomodern masculinities are enacted in the global climate change debate with examples from Sweden.
