Gender, children and anthropology in the face of climate change

Abstract

This contribution highlights the data and concepts, articulated by the research of international agencies (UNWoman, UNICEF, WTO, WHO) regarding the consequences of climate change. Besides migrations, gender relations and generational status are often the most involved aspects in dramatic changes. The author then addresses the question of whether anthropology can contribute, by the ethnographic study experiences on climate change, in taking another step that could be constituted by an anthropology of the implementation for equality in climate change situations.
