    Summary note
    Climate change is at the forefront of ideas about public policy, the economy and labour issues. However, the gendered dimensions of climate change and the public policy issues associated with it in wealthy nations are much less understood. This book covers a wide range of issues dealing with work and working life. It demonstrates the gendered distinctions in both experiences of climate change and the ways that public policy deals with it.
