Women, Natural Resource Management, and Poverty
Author: New Course (2010)
Due to societal roles and responsibilities, women, as the globally predominant users of natural resources, are disproportionately affected by the degradation of natural resources. Nevertheless, women are systematically left out of management discussions and action. This document examines the relationships between poverty, gender and natural resource management, and the ways in which women’s empowerment can lead to improved economic opportunity and ecosystem health.
