ABSTRACT

This chapter demonstrates the power of ecofeminism for lobbying and advocacy against climate inaction. Lisa Kemmerer explores ecofeminist theory, providing a means by which to revisit and critically analyze our dominant worldview, particularly false value dualism and hierarchy. The author also provides a handful of additional supporting theories that similarly expose the problematic thinking that has led to and maintains environmental degradation and climate inaction. This chapter demonstrates how a more holistic vision, focusing on interconnections and respect for life and the environment, can help us to work against climate change, and climate change denial, so long as we are willing to change our outlook – and our day-to-day consumption patterns.
