ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts discussed in this book. The book portends major disruptions in virtually all global systems, but its causes and consequences follow some fairly predictable gendered patterns. Just as men dominate the sciences generally, they also dominate climate science. The gender imbalance in climate science is not neutral. The partnership of two masculine systems science and the military has the consequence of militarizing climate change by emphasizing security threats and large-scale technical and engineering solutions more consistent with military missions than with empowering women and men to develop sustainable strategies for mitigation and adaptation. Climate change policy and negotiations are also gendered realms. Men occupies a disproportionate numbers of power positions in governments and the organizations task with setting climate change policy and negotiating climate change agreements. United Nations (UN) organizations responsible for climate change research and policy making slows to act on their stated commitments to gender equality.
