    The last decades are recognized as a period when a gender-sensitive perspective being broadly acknowledged by the majority of actors involved in the field of climate change. Existing gender inequalities exacerbated by climate change urge the inclusion of a differentiated female-male approach into research, decision-making processes, adaptation, and mitigation. This paper quantitatively reviews scientific contributions in the gender subfield within climate change research published between 1996-2020 by adapting a bibliometric analysis approach. The literature was extracted from Web of Science, Google Scholar, and World Bank's repositories. The results of the co-occurrence, bibliographic coupling, co-citation, and co-authorship analyses were mapped by using the VOS viewer software. The selection criteria were developed to maximize the thematic coverage of the publications that could be referred to the gender subfield within climate change research. The findings help better understand the overall developments in the gender subfield in terms of discussed topics, authors and institutional collaborations, contributions of international organizations in the capacity of authors, and an amount of grey literature. The review might represent an interest for further studies in consideration of new research topics, geographical focus, compositions of co-authors teams, and be communicated in debates on gender within the climate change context. © 2021 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

    Climate for women in climate science: Women scientists and the intergovernmental panel on climate change Open PDF

    The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is an authoritative and influential source of reports on climate change. The lead authors of IPCC reports include scientists from around the world, but questions have been raised about the dominance of specific disciplines in the report and the disproportionate number of scholars from the Global North. In this paper, we analyze the as-yet-unexamined issue of gender and IPCC authorship, looking at changes in gender balance over time and analyzing women’s views about their experience and barriers to full participation, not only as women but also at the intersection of nationality, race, command of English, and discipline. Over time, we show that the proportion of female IPCC authors has seen a modest increase from less than 5% in 1990 to more than 20% in the most recent assessment reports. Based on responses from over 100 women IPCC authors, we find that many women report a positive experience in the way in which they are treated and in their ability to influence the report, although others report that some women were poorly represented and heard. We suggest that an intersectional lens is important: not all women experience the same obstacles: they face multiple and diverse barriers associated with social identifiers such as race, nationality, command of English, and disciplinary affiliation. The scientific community benefits from including all scientists, including women and those from the Global South. This paper documents barriers to participation and identifies opportunities to diversify climate science.

    Green human resources management (GHRM) is an innovative approach for promoting sustainable thinking and practices within the environment of organizations. GHRM means rethinking basic concepts, strategies, policies, objectives, functions, processes, and activities of human resource management providing benefits for individuals, businesses, and society. It is an emerging field of study with a scientific community in formation. In recent years, much has been discussed about the role of women in science. The objective of the chapter is to contribute to this debate by presenting bibliometric indicators on the role of women in the scientific production of GHRM. The study was based on a survey of publications and other indicators from the Web of Science database. A comparison was made of productivity indicators, impact of scientific production and research time between men and women. Researchers with at least three articles on GHRM were evaluated. Among other results, this study showed that men are the majority, but that women also play an important role in terms of the quantity and quality of publications. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
