Social-ecological relations and gender equality: Dynamics and processes for transformational change across scales (SEQUAL)
SEQUAL is a multi-country collaborative project involving research organizations in Norway, Spain, and Sweden, funded by EU GENDER-NET Plus ERA-NET Cofund, which supports research integrating a gender dimension into societal challenges like SDG 5 (Gender Equality), SDG 3, SDG 9, and SDG 13 (Climate Action).
Focusing on SDG 5 and SDG 13, SEQUAL explores gender roles in natural resource management and climate governance across Norway, Spain, and Sweden, alongside case studies on northern Norwegian pastoralism, Spanish Pyrenean shepherding, and Burkinabe dry forest conservation.
Project objectives
Contribute to better understanding of how gender is framed and addressed within climate change and natural resource policies at different policy levels, and identify potential factors that can promote or hinder transformational change
Further our understanding of gender power relations under changing environmental conditions within case studies of natural resource management at the local level
Provide critical analyses of the gaps and linkages between international and national gender and climate policies on the one hand, and local everyday gendered practices on the other hand
